I especially like this statement:

Whatever happens to humanity, what with our propensity towards killing each other or changing our climate, those Rovers or humanity

I was watching one of my favorite shows the other day "Cosmos" on the science channel and it brought up an interesting point... what if a loooong time ago instead of cultures hording knowledge they shared it. The earth would be a totally different place. Instead of seeing things as separate cultures, how far along would we be if we all thought of each other as citizens of Earth from the beginning?

I see Esc, Ctarl (ctrl), and PigUp (pgup). There doesn't seem to be any any key! Phew. All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a Tab. Oop! No time for that now, the computer's starting.
