Online Public Relations Thoughts

NASA has announced that thus far 5,000 exoplanets have been observed in the galaxy.  None appear to have life and we are still alone in the universe.  Astronomers will continue to search for more extraterrestrial bodies in hope that one or more has water, lies the right distance from its star and shows signs of activity.  It might be a long endeavor and it emphasizes a truth that too many refuse to accept.  So far, if we do find life, there is no way to travel to it given galactic distances.  The message is stark.  Take care of the world we have.  There is no place else to go.  With wars and threats of nuclear bombs, we are proceeding down a harrowing path for humanity.  It is time to reflect on our solitary nature and to act accordingly.  One wonders if Putin ever thinks of that.
