We Are On A Journey To Keep

Let Me End With An Explanation Of Why I Believe The Move Into Space To Be A Human Imperative. It Seems To Me Obvious In Too Many Ways To Need Listing That We Cannot Much Longer Depend Upon Our Planet's Relatively Fragile Ecosystem To Handle The Realities Of The Human Tomorrow. Unless We Turn Human Growth And Energy Toward The Challenges And Promises Of Space, Our Only Other Choice May Be The Awful Risk, Currently Demonstrable, Of Stumbling Into A Cycle Of Fratricide And Regression Which Could End All Chances Of Our Evolving Further Or Of Even Surviving.

It Is The Struggle Itself That Is Most Important. We Must Strive To Be More Than We Are. It Does Not Matter That We Will Not Reach Our Ultimate Goal. The Effort Itself Yields Its Own Reward.

Its Seems To Me - It's Likely That Heaven's Here Right Now. If You Could Take Life With Its Pain And Misery, Where You Fail And You Sometimes Win, And If You Package It Into A Game, People Would Pay A Fortune To Have This Game. And I Don't Know That I'd Want It To Be Resolved So Peacefully That The Game Would Be All Over.

I Wish I Had More Control, More Like Edgar Rice Burroughs Had, But I'm A Realist, Too. I Work In Television. I Don't Know That I Would Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life Controlling My Characters.

I Believe In Humanity. We Are An Incredible Species. We're Still Just A Child Creature, We're Still Being Nasty To Each Other. And All Children Go Through Those Phases. We're Growing Up, We're Moving Into Adolescence Now. When We Grow Up - Man, We're Going To Be Something!
