It’s a near full moon tonight… gigantic, yellow, hazy. Nights like this, you can almost see the footprints out there.
While out walking, or peering out the window of your house, do you ever think about this? There are human footprints on the moon. We’ve been there. We’ve left machinery and the all-important flags behind. We’ve brought pieces of our planet’s sole satellite back with us. They’re here, and we can hold them in our hands.
Look at it now, if you’re at a spot in space-time where it’s dark. Look at it tonight if you’re dayside, and think on this: we’ve been there. We have the capability to leave our home planet. We have the ability to create whatever futures we desire.
Knowing this makes all our ignorant posturing here on Earth over unknowable answers provided by competing superstitions seem base and classless, doesn’t it?
The exploration of our home universe sounds much more wonderful as a chosen path.
