Wow! The incredible cleverness of humankind ! Asteroid-hunting capsule safely back on earth

The NASA-led capsule ands back, spot on, after a 1.9 BILLION km round trip to a 500-metre wide asteroid, a tiny rock, in the vastness of space, grabs a sample and comes back to earth with its mothership Osiris-REx. 

Amazing cleverness of the species known as Homo sapiens!

This species, that is, as far as we know, the most intelligent in the universe, the only one that has self awareness, the only one that is able to apprehend the full beauty, the mystery and the wonder of the universe, the one species that is perhaps the conscience of the universe itself, this one and only -- as far as we know -- that is able to explore that universe, this species, is one that the “famed naturalist” David Attneborough says is “a plague on the planet”. For that one sentence alone, I despise him. No matter he’s a near centenarian. By what mentality, by what “thinking” could a naturalist, a naturalist, demean us so? Shame on you, old, cramped, anti-human, Attenborough!
