:15:00
Not really.
:15:01
I got my Masters in Divinity...
:15:05
...then left the seminary to do
secular humanitarian work...
:15:08
...coordinating Third World churches.
:15:11
I couldn't live with the celibacy thing.
:15:18
You could call me a man of the cloth...
:15:21
...without the cloth.
:15:25
You want to get out of here?
:15:29
You see that large W-shaped
constellation there? That's Cassiopeia.
:15:34
And Cassiopeia A gives off
a whole lot of radio signals.
:15:38
I listen to them a lot.
:15:40
It's a remnant of a supernova.
:15:43
When did you know
you wanted to be an astronomer?
:15:48
When I was about eight years old...
:15:51
...watching the sunset, I asked Dad,
"What's that bright star over there?"
:15:59
He said that it wasn't a star.
It was...
:16:04
...a whole planet called Venus...
:16:09
...which should be over there soon.
:16:13
He said,
"You know why they called it Venus?
:16:16
Because they thought
it was so beautiful and glowing.
:16:19
But they didn't know...
:16:22
...that it's filled with...
:16:25
...deadly gases and sulfuric acid rain."
:16:30
Wow, I thought,
"This is it! I'm hooked!"
:16:35
There are four hundred billion
stars out there...
:16:39
...just in our galaxy alone.
:16:42
If only one out of a million
of those had planets...
:16:46
...if just one out of a million
of those had life...
:16:49
...and if just one out of a million
of those had intelligent life...
:16:54
...there would be literally millions
of civilizations out there...
