I thought I should share this here.

Please spend 3 minutes reading this note from William Shatner, the actor from Star Trek:“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration."I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced."I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet."This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."-- William Shatner, actor

I like Shatner...... he called obammy a f*ggot, the man knows what he's talking about.

I liked Shatner as Kirk, but have never been overly impressed with his other roles. I am very glad he got the chance to get above our atmosphere. It is a shame though, that he still lets his emotional reactions override his reasoning. Space does INDEED remain the final frontier, and Earth is INDEED our one and only home.....for now. And yes we SHOULD take better care of it.
But has Heinlein said, "The earth is simply too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in."
The Earth is in no danger from CO2 or MMGCC. It is, however, always in danger of a solar anomaly or a large kinetic impact or a bad enough v***s or global war pushed or stumbled into. We really REALLY need to get into space and establish self sufficient colonies throughout the solar system.

Man cannot destroy what God does not let him destroy.

I would like to say totally agree with you.. but than we have this confusing item about free will..

So hard to get it all down and in order.. I liked it more as a kid, simply tell me all about God and I accepted it all. those nasty questions came much later..

I’m referring to the world/earth, and we both know what is planned for that, someday. So we can’t do the ultimate destruction ourselves.

I wonder what Shatner thinks of Takai who is (Gay) a L***Q+ advocate of GAy rights. I also wonder what you think of Takai mr. liberalh****r.

Not a fan of the unabashed and open f*ggotry, detrimental to society..... ask the Greeks and Roman's how it worked out.

Mr Shatner (Capt Kirk) has always been one of my favorite actors. Although not my favorite ST Capt (In order: Sisko,Archer, Janeway and Picard/Kirk. I am glad he was the first SciFi actor to go into space for real. I only wish Leonard Nimoy would have also been around to go.

You need to know God to understand the creativity in the world order! Not by accident but design

Not going to happen

God doesn’t mind questions just closed mindedness! Pray for wisdom,! He will gladly give it if you believe! It says so in the Bible James 1:5! He will give it without finding fault
