Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

I wonder if they went with metric for this probe.
The important thing is that everybody got together beforehand and came to an agreement. Wonderful things happen when people learn to share. I motion that we nickname this craft "The Fred Rogers".

The dust doesn't just settle on the surface. It hits at high speed and actually pits the surface. This kind of damage cannot be fixed easily.
