This story summed up one of the major drives of the creatives that give themselves up to Fantasy and Sci-fi, for if we are unable to visit new places personally we can still make them with our imaginations and step foot onto these new worlds in our dreams waiting for the day when we as a people no longer need to dream and can visit these new wonders in person.
This reminds me, everyone should image search Xmen Wolverine Syllabus. Entries include Introduction: Getting to know you, and how I get my hair like this. Lab: Practicing mutant powers for fun - bring Beanie Babies. Exercise: Arrow catching - graded on a pass/fail basis. There's also notes in red pen on the Syllabus from Xavier, and not *all* of them are angry!
I really like these 30 some minute reads line up so well with pacing in my days. Really just a algorithm push tbh like the hfy and your tambor, deserves bumps. So does Easside scp. Most direct to book n coldly clinical scp reader out there. Cheers y'all!
Trust me. I'm an engineer. As an engineer, I do not find that reassuring. Such great lines. I even thought that before it was said. Even knowing that it was coming, I still found it hilarious.
The flickering heat you feel _could be_ combustion...or, it could be _flames of passion._ On that fateful day, a group of jaded aliens learnt the difference.
The other galaxies (at least in our local group) are so far less far away than the stars are to a new starfaring civilization. Andromeda is only a handful of times farther than the edge. Kind of a sad civilization to simply wait for it to reach us.
I wouldn't mind having a dozen future lives (or more) to experience that "Field Trip" or better, being the Engineer who conceived, designed and built it (Zefram Cochrane). ;-) Ah, don't you mean, "no One has gone before"? ;-D
What I hear in these comments is I DREAM. I Dream of a future. Knowing our past. But still asking the scariest question of all. Do I, we have the right stuff? Not to worry. You personally need only be a step in the right direction. ( say Lord's Prayer )
Here's how you can alter the story a little bit too make it slightly more interesting for viewers you Star Trek Battlestar Galactica and other in the setting ancient Earth media clips and sayings.
I just hope that I shall live long enough for the beginning of the great dream of exploration to start. To see the moon light up at night. And to see mars and every other world shine and sing with lights and radios. I just hope I shall see the sky’s of mars the lava pits of Venus and the sun rise of mercury. That one day all will look up and see a better world one of wonder and exploration. Of indication and discovery. Of a time that shows the best of us.
