Danh ngôn của Barney Oliver (Sứ mệnh: 2)

Years of science fiction have produced a mindset that it is human destiny to expand from Earth, to the Moon, to Mars, to the stars.
The sun and its retinue of planets drift as a group through the vast gulfs of space that separate the stars.
If interstellar travel is as time- or energy- demanding as the above figures indicate, it is far from obvious what the motive for colonization might be.
It would be a pity if, frustrated by the price of travel, we elected to become a society that never made contact, that never gave SETI a fair chance.
