00:00Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement.
00:06Those strange beings are the vanguard of an invading army from the planet Mars.
00:13One of the biggest philosophical questions is, are we alone in the universe?
00:22It seems absolutely inconceivable that in this gigantic universe,
00:25we are the only living things and the only intelligent things.
00:30We know today there are close to a trillion planets.
00:37This search is among the most profound of anything that human beings have ever done.
00:48My name is Gentry Lee.
00:50I am one of the most fortunate people who ever lived.
00:54That I could be part of the only generation that would ever explore the solar system for the first time.
01:01The pictures that came back astonished the world.
01:12Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
01:14The greatest value of science fiction is the way it opens your mind to possibilities.

01:28Perhaps there is something about an advanced civilization that limits how long it survives.
01:39Technology is what's made us human.
01:41Everything that's distinguished us from the animals is our technology.
01:46Spirituality will always remain because the universe will always be full of mystery.
01:50There will always be things we don't know.
01:53We're seeking the answers of those questions every human being asks himself at one time.
01:57Why am I here? Why is there a world?
02:00Where life comes from? What forms it can take? What is its eventual destiny?
02:06How is it possible that something so natural can be so beautiful?
02:14My colleague Arthur C. Clarke said the technology of an extraterrestrial civilization will be indistinguishable from magic.
