Read the questions carefully.

One of the interviewees in the video said the following:

“There are two questions we have all asked: 

where did we come from and are we alone in the universe? 

And if you want to answer those two questions you

have to explore space.”

Do you believe that these questions can be answered through space

exploration?

Where did we come from? 

Are we alone in the universe?

Are these questions something that you’ve ever thought about?

Where did we come from?

Are we alone in the universe?

Does the humankind really need answers to these questions?

Where did we come from?

Are we alone in the universe?
