Beyond Our Home
Persevere species in the pale blue dot
Space exploration inspired to push the boundaries to what is humanly possible. For decades, we seek what’s out there. We questioned the vastness of the universe, is there any lives out there, even the opportunity of living outside the earth and make our species multi-planetary.
We landed on the moon in 1969, launched the most versatile space telescope in 1990, landed first rover on Mars in 1997, and last week we launched two of NASA’s astronauts with a commercial rocket for the first time. There’s a lot of first time in space exploration, we seek a path that nobody ever done before. We always curious and looked for opportunities beyond the earth, beyond our species.
We always curious about the next big thing, and what is more possible shortly than our neighbor planet in our solar system: Mars. Before we send humans, NASA has a unique name for each rover sent to Mars. They honor the rover by naming it to translate human accomplishments to the Martian environment.
Spirit, opportunity, and curiosity are the character we have as a human beyond belief, race, religion, and skin color. We have the spirit to seek a path to the martian soil, then we have the opportunity and we always try to make it worked, and we also curious about what’s the next experiment we can do. These characters completed by perseverance, we never give up even after multiply failures because that’s what makes us human.
Why try so hard to seek beyond the earth? In the vastness of the cosmic arena exploration, we can cherish the only world known so far: Earth.
To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
