I think the rovers will be remembered as the
greatest space mission of all time. Even Apollo 11
or Voyager pales in comparison to the effects
finding life elsewhere will have on religion, science
and philosophy. This is perhaps the greatest
turning-point in all of human history.

This discovery will bring a new appreciation of
the universal strength of evolution...creation...and
allow science and religion, at last, to converge.
Which will bring an end to the eternal conflict that
is the source of most human misery and
ignorance.

And we get to watch!

"To tell the beauty would decrease,
To state the Spell demean,
There is a syllableless sea
Of which it is the sign.

My will endeavours for its word
And fails, but entertains
A rapture as of legacies-
Of introspective mines."
