UPDATE:
"While it is true that Mankind has had tendency to dominate without keeping focus to cause, much of that which we are learning, with respect to the scientific progressive and our power to alter his fate, makes continuing scientific research a prerequisite to the way we enforce our environmental laws.

It is my belief, that through the ages mankind has EVOLVED with earth changes. The discovery crew's vantage-point produced a step towards the understanding of mankind's part in the environment. From this journey forward, the magnificence of this voyage will bring forth significant discovery, that we, as lobbyist, lawmakers, etc; just simply cannot fully see.

If we can get beyond personal domination, with respect to the environment, and encourage a commonality towards research, this will lead man from his own futility.” Discovery' view. ~M.B. (^_^)

Here's what Einstein has to say:
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
