It's saddening to me that as a species we can't even take a good picture of things in our own solar system. I'm not sure when we can truly begin to explore the depth of the universe, and I'm really hoping that we don't self destruct before then.

It is incredible how large our solar system is relative to our home and it's just a speck compared to the rest of the universe. It blows my mind we haven't made contact with any other intergalactic civilizations however it does make sense because of how spread out we are. The Milky Way alone is over 100,000 light years across. Distances like that kind of bum me out thinking about possible deep space travel...
