You're right, we wore out Uranus, time to move on to something fresh.Wells4Heisman;2058712; said:

Dave Garroway (old enough to remember him? He had the Today Show decades ago) anyway, he did a video piece like this once. It started with a close-up photo of a girl holding a cat, then the camera moved out a bit farther--the view looking down on the girl in her back yard. "See the girl? See the cat?", Garroway asked. The view kept expanding until we were looking down on the Earth, then at our solar system, then our galaxy, then past the Milky Way, and with every expansion of view, Garroway would quietly ask "See the girl? See the cat?"
On my better days at least, I tend to favor the viewpoint of Antoine de Saint-Exupery in his Little Prince. I have a daughter, and there exists more than one photo of her holding a cat. I am inclined, as was Saint-Exupery's Little Prince, to make a distinction between scale and importance.
"For millions of years flowers have been producing thorns. For millions of years sheep have been eating them all the same. And it's not serious, trying to understand why flowers go to such trouble to produce thorns that are good for nothing? It's not important, the war between the sheep and the flowers?... Suppose I happen to know a unique flower, one that exists nowhere in the world except on my planet, one that a little sheep can wipe out in a single bite one morning, just like that, even without realizing what he's doing - that isn't important? If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, 'My flower's up there somewhere...' But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?"
