Yes.

And now we are in the last act of "Contact" where Ellie is before a committee discussing what happened.

Perhaps some of us will never know.

Some crazy guy on the internet made a prediction that "the doom you were obviously expecting" will occur on October 1 on a thread referencing the first Star Trek episode which coincidentally (?) aired the same day he made the post, 24 years earlier, which was about saving humanity from destruction.

The day before October 1 he said, "It teeters on the edge.. and all it needs is a little kick. Perhaps a little ejection." and coincidentally (?) the next day an object thrashed near the sun, sending out massive ejections of energy in the direction of Earth.

But again the day before he said that we will all be disappointed on October 1.

The point is that if some was disappointed that there was no doom on October 1, it's because they:

1) haven't been paying attention, and/or
2) really want doom to occur and are disappointed when it doesn't happen

So hopefully a lot more people on this website can stop wishing for doom and realize what is going on around them now and participate more in its 'creation'.

We can do fantastic things together, but we need your active participation. Don't just sit on the sidelines.

Let's figure it out together. (A cliché that works!)
