Does living in a vast universe make humanity less significant?

Scott Acton spent more than 20 years helping build the most advanced telescope humanity has ever made. The goal? To see the first stars that ever turned on in our universe. If it works, we’ll be looking more than 13 billion years into the past. If it fails, that’s ten billion dollars down the drain. A lot goes wrong. But here’s the catch: the more we learn about how vast our universe is, the more we risk opening even bigger questions—questions about purpose, questions about whether humanity is significant in a universe this massive. And yet, what this telescope could reveal is something no human eyes have ever seen.
