The universe is lying in wait right now, infinitely folding in and around itself. We are just reaching Mars, just returning to Luna, and grasping at the edge of our solar system peering deep into relms of existence only previously imagined.
We are all guilty of looking up at the night sky like a wide eyed child striken with awe, flooded with aspirations of frolicing amongst the stars, the cosmos our playground. What untold treasures and wonders are stowed away in our own backyard?
As we mature, advance, and evolve our Curiosity peaks, we seize the Oppurtunity, and lift the Spirit of our civilization to Voyage to the edge of the unknown to Discover who we truly are. The Human race is curious, possessing limitless potential. We need only to look into ourselves and accept the Challenge ahead. Our Endeavors will pay off, we will endure, preservere, and prosper.
Modern astronomers gaze through the lenses of telescopes, eyes fixated to monitors as data feeds stream in from radio observatories. New exoplanets are unveiled from the cold dark cloak of space even within our own galaxy. With each find, new questions are raised, theories re-written, and old notions re-defined. Dark matter comes to light, the boson particle is no longer theory, and we are on the cusp of viewing an atom for the first time.
Major coorporations are looking to the stars for new resources and revenue, mining precious metals from asteroids, harvesting regolith for helium-3, and putting boots on alien soil. New industries will emerge, technology will evolve, and we the Humans of Sol will flourish. Perhaps the Mayans were correct in their assessment, this is truely the end of an era and the rise of another.
The possibility of us being alone in the universe is rapidly dwendling. Titan holds water, Mars was once covered in ancient rivers, and exoplanets within the "goldie locks zone" of red dwarfs. How can life not exist elsewhere? Are we merely isolated, celestrial outcasts? Regardless, the fact remains, we are unique, inquisitive, and tenacous. But isn't that what makes us so astonishing?
Could we uncover something that has the potential to jump our technology forward a few hundred years? I believe it is at least possible.
And then he said, let there be space magic.
