Shit, and I’ve been giving it away for free! Where can I apply for my grant?

Oh well, never mind.

You never know, it might prompt us to realise that we are all on the same planet, in the vast emptiness of space, with no planet B within travelling range. It might make us stop our petty squabbling and work together to protect our home.
