To have your own planet isn´t just an ego thing. My personal theory is that life nowadays is so complex and complicated that we grow up and turn out to be very unique and individual beings shaped by our unique experiences, and that we watch the world through our very personal filters. We create our own planets where we are the only intelligent life. The only way to leave the isolation is to explore other planets.

This is what life looks like on my planet...
