Thanks to folks such as the good people at APOD we have at our Internet fingertips an impressively large quantity of very high quality artistic and scientific images from the seeable universe. Their Astronomy Picture of the Day featured images are wonders to behold and many would argue enough for our astronomical appetite. But for others the thought of exploring space from the comfort of a faster than light starship is a bit more palate pleasing.
Unfortunately, travel to even our closest stellar neighbor is well beyond a reasonable human journey today. However, these distant space traveling dreams so many of us have likely indicate possibility. I believe we look and outreach with hope to the heavens because it’s part of our nature.
How the star trekking dream is fulfilled, who can say…
Maybe Heaven holds the answer!
life’s flame burns like fusion
propagating emotion like starlit nebulae
who can hide from the beckoning;
to the stars!
onward outward
ever reaching…
for love’s reward
