If you think about it, it’s kind of awesome: against all the odds, through the vast time since the Big Bang, we ended up here, on Earth. The famous astronomer Carl Sagan reminds us that on this tiny blue dot in space, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone who ever lived, spent their lives.
