Editorial: External Investigation, Part II: Let the Healing Begin

There are a few sweet pockets every few light years around the universe here and there, but throughout the apparently ever-expanding whole, it's either stupendously too hot or cold for life like anything we know to exist.  In the vast stretches between the pockets of viability - and thus for the most part - the universe surely seems utterly hostile to life.

So now that we get our own little greenhouse thing going here on planet Earth, putting up shelter, establishing agriculture, breeding cats and dogs and cattle so the greenhouse is well-gassed - now that we finally can enjoy some time away from the struggle against the Mostly Inhospitable Cosmos - do we all join in gratitude and peace and relief, as brothers and sisters on vacation from the primordial struggle, free for a brief precious time to love and laugh and play music like at Woodstock?

Well, not so much.
