At this very moment somewhere in the universe, a species of life that has created an advanced civilization, is starting its journey to the creation of interstellar vessels. But, before it has the ability to leave its planet and seek out other planets suitable for sustaining life, it must first seek peace within in its own planet. This civilization has the power to destroy itself, and forever end the species' existence. The species must choose whether it will graduate to a more powerful and influential member of the universe, or will destroy itself into nothingness. In fact there are most likely more than one species facing this dilemma, but the one I am most concerned with is the human race on Earth. Space travel is now possible, shown by numerous trips to the moon. And mass destruction is also possible, shown by the discovery and use of atomic weapons. So will humans survive and come to dominate our galaxy, or will we perish as an unknown and insignificant life form?
