The destruction of this planet would have no significance
on a cosmic scale: to an observer in the Andromeda nebula, the
sign of our extinction would be no more than a match flaring
for a second in the heavens: and if that match does blaze in
the darkness there will be none to mourn a race that used a
power that could have lit a beacon in the stars to light its
funeral pyre. The choice is ours.
-- Stanley Kubrick
