Let Time Not Be All That Flies
Caltechgirl just made me feel old, as well as very sad. Has it really been 19 years? Wow. Yet only 38 yesterday for Apollo 1. How far we came in those first 19 years. Well, the first handful, anyway. How mired we’ve been these last 19.
I am hopeful. Ecstatic, even, at the recent progress and moves being made in the private world of business toward viable, practical, flexible, long-term solutions to the shortage of “soup bowls” and the lapse of will to catch the universe’s rain of bounty.
It’s exciting, but no less sad so many won’t be with us to see it. Still, the biggest obstacle even the privateers face is making space transport, habitation and work too costly in money because we refuse to expend lives on risk anymore. As humans have traditionally done so freely to get us where we are.
