These are amazing. A huge part of the value of NASA itself is that it inherently represents pride in humanity--our accomplishments, and aspirations.
Here, NASA reminds us that there is still room for new aspirations in a culture that currently is hung-up on post-apocalyptic doom-and-gloom futures.
- ygmelnikova 11y agoNothing wrong with dreaming, but reality bites. Physics will tell you that mankind's adventure into space will be limited. Our nearest star is Proxima Centauri, and it would take a ship 17,900 years to get there travelling at 150,000 mph. If Voyager 1 is headed towards it, it will get there in 76,000 years. Tell me, what's more likely to happen first. Thermonuclear war, or a settlement of 1,000 people anywhere in space?
