The day after we read in the Torture Report about the worst that this nation can do, then we see something that has to be one of the best things than humankind can offer.
YouTube is full of cute and touching videos and I almost always blow them off whenever somebody sends me a link. While I'm sure that it would be interesting, I figure that I just don't have time to do that for every single link that somebody thinks is worthwhile.
Well, the video below is worth 6 minutes of your time. Trust me, you will not regret spending those few minutes of your life watching this:

I should point out that while the musicians are Air Force personnel, this beauty of this piece has nothing to do with the military. It is simply beautiful music wonderfully played and sung, and, well, is just kinda inspirational.
When we send space probes out to the far reaches of our solar system and beyond, a lot of thought goes into what info is included in case some other intelligent species finds it someday and wants to know who sent it. I believe that things like stellar maps, mathematical universal facts such as pi, and the pediodic chart of the elements are included, as well as some cultural info about our species.
In the latter category, they should just include this video.
