>> Up there in the vastness of space in the void that is sky.

>> I know how important home can be but, that's why I'm here.

>> As humans, we're always close to destruction.

>> It sits there in the stars, waiting.

>> There is an ineffible quality to memory, which I do not believe can survive your procedure.

>> That the Earth was a mere point in the vast, encompassing cosmos.

>> I know I'll be... forgiven.

>> For achieving the goal of returning safely to the Earth.

>> I just... want to go home.

>> HOST: Wow.

Okay, here we go. Uh, where to begin?

Hello. And uh, welcome to this unique place.

It has a lot of character and it means everything to me.

I just wish I knew more about you. But I'm getting ahead of myself I'm sure you have so many questions. And if nothing else, that... we have in common.

So let's build from there, you and I. Together, we'll ask questions and investigate their meaning because that's what I do.

I am the echo of a people who frequently forgot how to do that. And believe me, you lose something really important when answers no longer need to be questioned.

Now you have an extraordinary opportunity and I don't want you to squander that so I am here to remind you to think critically to be open to change and above all else to care.

I'm going to reach out again sometime soon. And when I do, I trust that you will grant me that time. Because you're going to need all the help you can get. And we have so much to discuss.

Until then... be well.

Talk to you soon.
