Astronomy Quote by Tim Marshall
““When we are reaching for the stars, the challenges ahead are such that we will perhaps have to come together to meet them: to travel the universe not as Russians, Americans, or Chinese but as representatives of humanity. But so far, although we have broken free from the shackles of gravity, we are still improsoned in our own minds, confined by our suspicion of the "other," and thus our primal competition for resources. There is a long way to go.””

![“All the sovereignty issues [in the Arctic region] stem from the same desires and fears -- the desire to safeguard routes for military and comercial shipping, the desire to own the natural riches of the region, and the fear that others may gain where you lose.” quote by Tim Marshall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/204/tim-marshall-34337_fear_all-the-sovereignty-issues-in-the-arctic_2756386.jpg)
