00:00 For eons, the infinite ocean of the cosmos stared silently upon them.
00:09 And for most of their short lives, all they could do was stare back.
00:16 They were a young species, toiling under the sun by day and wistfully admiring the stars
00:22 at night.
00:24 But they had to first explore and master the world beneath their feet.
00:29 Dreams alone didn't fuel their ambitions.
00:33 Their world ravaged of resources.
00:36 They had to seek new worlds, or face extinction.
00:44 They recklessly pursued and developed technologies that would enable them to explore the cosmos
00:50 and set foot on new worlds.
00:58 They learned how to create air and water with powerful machines, and turn barren landscapes
01:08 into fertile, green forests.
01:12 Terraforming alien worlds and seeding them with life, they would forsake temperance and
01:18 explore the cosmos, as if trying to outrun their mortality.
01:24 But they could never predict what they ultimately discovered.
01:29 That they were still doomed, like so many that had gone before them.
