" Space Race Wanting the sky, wanting the horizon, wanting to travel further than anyone has ever gone. There were days when nobody knew what was over the other side of the sea. A time when wild places sprawled endless and unchanging. But here we are, too late to explore the Earth and too soon to venture into space. I want to sleep until the universe is open. I want to sleep until I can pour myself into it and never look back; chase galaxies like sailors once chased ports. "
