So, some people used to scoff when I mentioned that I wanted to build spaceships and travel through space. And some people thought I was just being silly. Well, I'm still not doing those things, but I am learning how and that's a start. I hope that one day I do actually think up something useful that will help make this dream come true. The dream of exploring more of the universe that I have.
I do often question what my motivation for wanting to get into space. I think Kristeva was on to something when she talks about how Sputnik was the first realization of the uniquely human desire to escape the planet. But what is it that we think we can escape?
Anyway, I'm about to head off to some physics class.
And for a certain person, I never felt so wicked as when I willed our love to die. I'm sorry, I was wrong.
