Fan video "NASA - The Frontier is Everywhere", with audio of Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot."

Just saw this on the NASASpaceflight forum:

Great piano piece by Michael Marantz accompanying the video. There are a few YouTube video's featuring this reading by Sagan of his book Pale Blue Dot. This is one of the better one's with Marantz's excellent piano piece.
BTW, there is a word in the audio Sagan uses "terraqueous" I hadn't heard before. It simply means consisting of land and water.

I've seen both of these and I think they're fantastic. Also, "terraqueous" is an awesome word.

Yes, terraqueous is a great word. It perfectly describes the type of world we would want to settle on once we embark on interstellar travel. We don't want it to be all land with no water such as Mars. And we don't want it to be all water, whether it's ice covered or not such as Europa.
But rather you want it to be a combination of both.
