Carl Sagan (+3)
"How would an interstellar civilization set out to explore its neighboring star systems? It might establish staging posts, colonies on planets of nearby stars, but this would take time, time to find and modify favorable planets, time to build new spacecraft. Eventually, later generations of explorers would set out, wending their way among the worlds, creating an interstellar nervous system, binding up the stars. Perhaps they would come upon another expanding civilization and encounter beings previously known only from their radio transmissions. Star wars are unlikely. One civilization almost certainly would be far more advanced than the other. It would be no contest."

Brian Daley (+4)
"They're the grimmest reapers. They're beings who stalk the twilight free-fire zone between the law of the jungle and the retribution of governments. They're red of fang and claw, answerable to no one. Ruthless&mdash;respecting authority only when it's backed by naked force. Many are as criminal as their quarry. Their license to kill comes from the mint and their own dark drives. A name on a wanted notice empowers them to seek out prey, run it to the ground&hellip;capture or slay it."
