Quote by Carl Sagan

“El mundo es totalmente diferente si la máxima velocidad de un mensaje es la que pueden alcanzar un caballo o una carabea, o bien la de la luz. La velocidad de la luz significa que podemos hablar - prácticamente a tiempo real- con cualquier persona de la Tierra o incluso de la Luna. Pensemos en la medicina. Hace unos siglos, la mayoría de los niños nacidos en las grandes familias de Europa morían en la infancia, a pesar de contar con la mejor asistencia médica de su época. Hoy en día, incluso los pobres de algunas naciones tienen una mortalidad infantil asombrosamente inferior a la de las cabezas coronadas del siglo XVII. O pensemos en la disponibilidad de medios seguros y baratos de control de la natalidad, que implica una revolución en las relaciones humanas y, sobre todo, en la condición de las mujeres.”
