Voyager probe was leaving the inner orbits. There were only couple of commands that we could transmit to the probe and make it follow the instructions. Many at the control center wished to take a look at the deepest part of the universe as the probe had reached such distances. Carl Sagan asked them to turn the probe's camera to look back at "home". He later expressed what he felt at that moment:
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.
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, 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.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe,
are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
