geographile“In <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> it often happens that scientists say, ‘You know that’s a really good <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/argument" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#argument</a>; my position is mistaken,’ and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/human" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#human</a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#change</a> is sometimes painful.” - Carl <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Sagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sagan</a>

earthling“It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” - Carl Sagan<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Earth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Earth</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sagan</a>
