We are destroying our planet right now , right at this moment. There is no stopping it. Our urge to kill, to gain profit is to great at this time. Unless [i]all [/i]killing is stopped. Then we can talk about uniting to reach the stars. But nobody wants to go first. Look at all these countrys and their excuses for not developing into a peaceful people: religions , politics and money won't allow such a progress. If we can get rid of our prejudice towards other cultures, it could work. But as you Floodians know there is so much hate even between ourselves, that sympathy towards other peoples will stay an utopian dream.
