so what are the chances we'll get it right in another 250,000?

Well, being the optimist that I am, I'll say 0.005% chance.

Right. Which is why I think OP and Carl Sagan are going to be terribly disappointed with the state of human affairs up to the point that we finally manage to wipe ourselves out.

Nihilism aside, let us aim higher than species self destruction.

Nihilism? Nah. I believe that life has a purpose, even that specific ideals have a purpose.

But I am admittedly pessimistic, cynical, and misanthropic.
