It's an awfully poignant & sad allegory for how humanity & #neoliberalism is failing to address both chronic problems like #poverty & #publichealth & existential threats to humanity such as #nuclearweapons, #ClimateCrisis, #biodiversity loss & even approaching asteroids.
The best line is towards the end when @LeoDiCaprio's character, his family & the two scientists who attempted to warn humanity are eating their final dinner together & they are bantering about relatively mundane things like store-bought vs homemade cake & brewing coffee.
No 14/fev/2020 é comemorado o 30º aniversário da icônica imagem Pálido Ponto Azul, da Terra fotografada pela Voyager1 da periferia do sistema solar, mostrando a Terra como um pontinho no espaço. Vem comigo nessa #AstroThreadBR sobre a imagem e livro #PálidoPontoAzul do Carl Sagan 
A Voyager 1 tinha completado sua missão principal e estava deixando o Sistema Solar. A pedido do Astrônomo Carl Sagan a NASA virou a câmera da Voyager para tirar uma última foto da Terra em meio à vastidão do espaço. Nessa distância, a Terra é um pontinho no espaço
À distância de 40,5 unidades astronômicas (40,5 UA), ou seja, 40,5 vezes a distância Terra-Sol, ou 6 bilhões de km, a imagem da Terra "Pálido Ponto Azul" tirada pela Voyager é menor a 1 pixel (!). O nosso lar é uma fração de um pontinho na imensidão do espaço!
1/ THREAD: Pale Blue Dot
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

2/ The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, ...
3/ ... every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Mars Probe's View of Earth and the Moon!
Earth and Mars were about 127 million miles (205 million kilometers) when the photos were taken by @NASA’s @HiRISE camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. #EarthDay #PictureEarth
