The video is a good a tribute to Carl Sagan.
However, the NASA concept of the "The Home Frontier" seems to be somewhat of a parody of "The High Frontier". I have noticed that increasingly more of an emphasis on staying home, going home or missions to the Earth as apposed to setting off on a journey to High Frontiers. Star Trek, for example, started out in the 60s as "To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before!" to being lost in the Delta Quadrant 70,000 light-years from Earth making an estimated 75-year journey home. Now with the Space Shuttle era ending with no follow on space objectives and destinations, its as though we are loosing our collective nerve. Its similar to Forest Gump after running across the continent with a large following when he declares "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now". Are we as a nation, "pretty tired"?
