1. it all started from curiosity, later transitioned into Natalie Batalha in the red dress alone with her references to balls and finally ended up with me breaking up with my girl.
2. LIFE IS EVERYWHERE throughout the Multiverse!!!.. Don't let the paid LIARS at NASA tell you any different!!

8. Thanks for an interesting subject and speaker giving an entertaining speech in an understandable fashion.
9. we have been on earth since single-cell organisms and now we cant even thank it for our luck of survival, instead we plan to abandon it, i say to atleast die out with this amazing planet. Alot of evolution has happened on the ground we step on daily, and here we are planning to leave it when WE might be the reason this AMAZINGLY rare planets death all of our history has been stored on this planet and it will be like throwing away people like Columbus for the discovery of america because there will be no america sure its like a new start but you cant just throw away hundreds of millions of years worth of history dating back to fossils to cave drawings to scrolls to books.I know it might be best to look for new hope but think about every single species we have ended mammoths, dodos, smilodon(sabertooth cats), almost wolves, and now we are trying to save ourselves from fate. all the other animals didnt die of fate, they died of us, we are no more important than the dodo, so why should we try to save ourselves. anyone with me?
10. boring speaker for a VERY interesting topic! :)

17. ohh man i wanna probe her galaxy
18. I do hope that the minds looking out are more open. We know only of life and how it works here. We know nothing of what exists in the vast universe. We assume it must use what we have learned is needed "here" for our kind of life. The what if's, they are the eyes to what may exist ..out there. Please when opening your eyes to peer out there, make certain your minds are also open. Would you want to meet us? look around you and ask yourself if you would welcome our world and people. Good Luck...if i were an different world, I might stay hidden to prevent the corruption .
19. hahaha she said balls
