"...It has always been humanity's fate to reach the heavens. Each of us feels it. In the quiet of the night when we are alone and staring up at the clear sky, we realize how small we are, how insignificant our species is as we fight and toil on our little ball of dirt. Now though we are more, we can leave behind the violence of our nature, we can ascend. The stars are within our reach. We can go to them and never be without, and so it is now that I must ask something of you all.
"Let them be places of peace.
"Let us leave behind our wars, our hatred of one another, our greed and fear and doubt. Let us stop worrying over details of ideology and realize the destiny promised to us. Let us rise into the pure and promising heavens as one people and see all the wonders that our universe has to offer.
"Please.
"I beg of you.
"For our own sake."
