    Europe's Gaia satellite has produced a 3-D map, hailed as revolutionary, of more than a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy -- complete with their distance from Earth, colour, and motion through space.

    I think they have been studying their risk analysis and are re-setting their priorities
    1. Locate a habitable planet
    2. Find a way of getting there
    3. **** off and **** the rest of us

    They have just discovered that a full blown nuclear war would be a horrifying death for the survivors

    Problem is, it may require a World leader and that will always be the danger. Dilemma
