American astrophysicist Carl Sagan once said -
'The universe is all that is us, or ever was, or ever will be.
Our contemplations of the cosmos stir us.
There's a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice,
a faint sensation as if a distant memory of falling from a great height.
We know we are approaching the grandest of mysteries.
The cosmos is within us.
We are made of star-stuff.'
Space travel has been launched. In a few days, another voyager will journey again to the edge of space.
A euphoric moment for man reaching out to the stars.
Inspired by the life and work of Carl Sagan, "Star Stuff" is a love letter to curiosity, imagination, and science.---"Charming & inspiring short film."Richar...

I was a kid in the 1960's.
The Apollo Program sent 11 rockets at the moon and on July, 20 1969, I watched as Apollo 11 landed on the moon and her astronauts walked on the surface.
That's when space travel began for me.

Apollo 11 was broadcast live around the world on black and white television. My elders saw to it that the children also got to witness that historic moment of man landing on the moon. I was a child but I knew it was an important event.
Here's to man the space explorer!

There are no words to describe the feeling. This is space travel. This is a dream turned reality #Unity22

Exciting times for us humans to be able to travel beyond our planet. I think this will be more exciting for our future generations rather than for our generation since it is they who will most likely be the ones to benefit from all of this since it just started. I am glad that I was able to witness this event of conquering space but I really am doubtful if I will be the one to go.

@eileenleyva I dunno if I were young and adventurous I might get one but if there is no return ticket I still would think twice.

Billionaires racing to space but can't solve world problems with all their cash. I guess their priorities are misplaced.
