A Glorious Dawn

" If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars." - Dr. Carl Sagan

Dr. Sagan was right. Eventually, we will have to venture to the stars. Not just for resources, not just to keep our eggs out of one basket, but, in the words of others, "because it's there." How could we spend the rest of our galactic lifetime sitting here on one planet? I may not live to see the day, especially with how people treat space these days, but damned if I'm not gonna do my best to prevent the "destroy ourselves" part, so someday, we will go see galactic dawns.

It'll be awhile, but we'll get there. We HAVE to get there. It just makes you wonder why a space program is so controversial...

It's easy to demagogue. And it doesn't let us blow people up. We do have lots of problems here to deal with, but the space program isn't the cause of them, nor is cutting off our nose to spite the future's face going to help us fix them.
