Verses: Hope in desolation
Space just desolate…
and yet humans launch hope
to explore some more
On our Moon
from where the Sun never shines,
a new era will dawn.
Notes:
- There’s nothing quite as bold and beautiful as committing to venturing the brutal colossal desolation that is space. Every (civil) space launch carries not just hardware but hope. The act of exploring the void makes humans special.
- From “where the sun never shines” is a reference to permanently shadowed regions on our Moon’s poles which were discovered to host water ice deposits. These could be crucial for sustained exploration of our Moon as well as the Solar System.
