Wow, thanks for the great post. Amazing technology that we can see this transformation.

However, I am deeply saddened that we would wipe so much away in so short a time as if there are dozens more planets like this that support humanity. While there may in fact be more like this one somewhere out there it still seems to me that we are taking something very valuable for granted. How could we possibly live harmoniously with each other and with nature when we are so shortsighted, why would we live in such a manner???
