The Destiny universe has often been described as "hopeful", and the video embedded above perfectly captures that feel through the clever use of Carl Sagan's inspiring voice. (This isn't his famous Pale Blue Dot monologue, but the quotes are indeed taken from his book Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space.) Credit goes to Bungie.net user LastLastCityBlam, who was inspired by this Halo: Reach fan video. The audio track is originally from this video by Michael Marantz.

As a fan of Borderlands, I think this is very encouraging news! (Thanks, Xenos.)
