I don't know wether you or nasa came up with that slogan, but it's very inspiring.

    “For me, the most ironic token of [the first human moon landing] is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads: "We came in peace for all Mankind." As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.”

    Carl Sagan

    History rhymes. Look at what's happening right now in the world and this quote is as applicable as ever.
