Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.

Perspective
A very simple question, albeit with extraordinarily profound consequences, is why did it take humanity thousands of years to unravel the system of planetary motions? And how exactly did the needed revolutionary perspective change? After all, we as a species were fixated upon these motions back as far as recorded history comes down to us in the form of epic poems.
Today the only perspective that will create a solution to the crisis facing us is putting aside everything else and striving to accomplish the incipient transformation of society from earthbound to extraterrestrial. Music please.
