"Space: It's huge. It's a lot of other things, but mostly huge. If you lose your keys in it, you're pretty much screwed... And, if we want to search for life, we need to stick to where we think it can flourish. Life as we know it is picky...

Earth might have won the galactic lottery being the right size, material and position to sustain life — or maybe it's as common as snot...

Kepler [NASA's new space telescope] will essentially be humanity's first scan of the cosmos' housing market...

'One of the most interesting things we could find is zero,' NASA scientist William Boruki said..."

"There isn’t any particular relationship between the messages, except that the author has chosen them carefully, so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful and surprising and deep.

What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time." - Slaughterhouse Five

A modern myth fell and died.

So it goes.
