Man kann es nicht glauben wie arg die #Rassen doch immer noch Thema scheinen. Ein #Mensch ist ein Mensch. Was macht die #Hautfarbe für einen Unterschied? (Davon abgesehen hat jeder Mensch eine andere Hautfarbe). Da könnte man auch anders unterscheiden und dann vielleicht nur Menschen mit kleinen Ohren benachteiligen oder nur Schuhgröße 40 bevorzugen. Why is that?

The world got very small in the news this week...
So I went looking outward.Voyager is still exploring.
Artemis II is pushing further than we’ve gone in decades.
And even the astronauts watched Project Hail Mary before heading out, because art and reality still talk to each other.Exploration isn’t escape.
It’s extension.https://realityfragments.com/2026/04/18/the-other-kinds-of-exploration/

"From up here, you look like one thing. Homo Sapiens is all of us, no matter where you're from or what you look like. This shows what we can do not just when we put our differences aside but when we put our differences together."

astronaut,

We have had this PoV for 60 years.
We've seen #Earthrise
We've seen #PaleBlueDot
We know we live on an impossibly beautiful planet, in just the right orbit around just the right sun so that conditions will be just right for intelligent life to evolve.
We know this because I am imagining these words in my head, typing them, and you – hundreds or thousands of kilometres away – are reading them.
After only a few seconds.We know all of this.
Yet we are still a colossal fuckup.

"GPS"?
Global Positioning System?
*Global*.
Whether I heard or interpreted it correctly or not here's me thinking wow, I won't be seeing anything *but* global positioning. Ever.
Or doing it at 15,000 miles per hour. :)

A timely reminder from the immortal #CarlSagan of how absurd it is that we cause so much suffering to control this infinitesimal fragment of the universe.

12 years later, my #Malay translation of #PaleBlueDot still stands on its own.

Virtually all of Humanity's history, innovation and creativity is a blue pixel on a 1970's camera.
Stick a selfie mirror on this view and you have everything we have ever done.
We're not that important in the grand scale of things.

On this day in 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a photo of our planet from approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away.
"Commissioned by NASA and resulting from the advocacy of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the photograph was interpreted in Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, as representing humanity's minuscule and ephemeral place amidst the cosmos."

"Look again at that dot.
That's here. That's Home. That's us."

"Plans to end global warming hinge on driving net greenhouse gas emissions to zero, plus or minus a few gigatonnes (Gt). It’s not going well.
CO2 emissions hit an all-time high last year, and for the first time average temperatures on Earth rose 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels.
To hold warming below 2 °C, a total of 525 to 755 Gt of carbon dioxide will need to be removed from the atmosphere by 2100. That total will increase if global emissions do not start falling quickly.
From 2019 to 2023, just 9 Gt of CO2 was removed, 99.9 percent through managed forestry.
In other words, nine gigatonnes down, 746 gigatonnes to go...

Nasceva oggi nel 1934 il grande scienziato e divulgatore Carl Sagan, che convinse la NASA a fare voltare la Voyager 1 per fotografare il "pallido puntino blu", la Terra vista da sei miliardi di chilometri di distanza. Il testo che scrisse per la foto richiama ad una coscienza planetaria che purtroppo ancora non abbiamo. Ma la raggiungeremo.
Grazie Carl, le stelle che ti hanno sempre chiamato, da tempo le hai raggiunte.

"This is the first time anywhere in the world that a major oil and gas company has been convicted by the courts for misleading the public by greenwashing its image regarding its contribution to the fight against climate change."

I just thought about this great speech of Carl Sagan: Pale Blue Dot. And therefore I listened to it again and I think you should do so too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g

A New Year and Our Second Decade of Storytelling
“New Year’s” (Thomas Nast, Harper’s Weekly, 8 January 1881, public domain).
Out with the old and in with the … old? Such are the lives of researchers and students of the American Civil War and Reconstruction eras as we move forward from 2024 into the New Year of 2025.
Unlike millions of other human beings across our pale blue dot (as Carl Sagan called our planet), we will continue to spend a significant portion of our lives looking back as 2025 progresses. We will do so not because we are backward in our ways of thinking, however, but because we’re hoping to better understand how our nation and world came to be what it is at present — as we also try to answer questions about our respective ancestors and the roles they played in shaping how we became who we are as individuals today.
My promise, as the founder and managing editor of 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers: One Civil War Regiment’s Story, is that our travels back in time, during what is now our second decade of operation, will continue to include adventures filled with fascinating twists and turns that will sometimes be sad, but more often than not, will be informative and positively energizing.
Our 2025 education program objectives are much the same as they’ve always been — to hunt for data that sheds light on the lives of the men who served with the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, to learn more about their immediate families and descendants, to find records, photographs and other memorabilia that will corroborate the data we uncover, to use those details, documents, photographs, and memorabilia to tell the stories of those men and their families as accurately and thoroughly as we possibly can, and to motivate learners of all ages across Pennsylvania, the United States and the world to study the history of this regiment and appreciate the impact that its members made, as individuals, on their communities, our nation and our beloved “pale blue dot.”
Welcome to 2025! Let the time travels begin!!
