Arthur C. Clarke's Last Message to Earth



The golden age of space is only just beginning... Space travel and space tourism will one day become almost as commonplace as flying to exotic destinations on our own planet.

I hope that we have learned something from the most barbaric century in history -- the twentieth. I would like to see us overcome our tribal factions, and begin to think and act as if we were one family. That would be real globalization.

"I hope that we have learned something from the most barbaric century in history -- the twentieth" <-- spoken like someone who does not know their history. Seriously.
