Child of consciousness,
Look
Without
Expand with instruments to observe
The universe within
The alien mirror in the sky

Tracks on the ancient sand
Engineered memories
Sensors to capture the light
Panels deployed beneath the eternal sun

Reach out through the spatial membrane
All those worlds await
The caress of your ship
Your trembling chip
The kiss of your firing neuron

Red
Unbroken string of code
Hover
Persevere
Listen to the sound of the wind

What a great combination of art and science. In my mind, there is no separation. They are the same (the Greeks and Renaissance geniuses knew that).

There is something about space flight and exploration...mysteries of the universe (one?two?parallel?) stir us as they did those who came before.

Thank you, @agmoore! It is inspiring to be on the edge of exploration. An evolutionary expansion like no other in the history of our species. In the old days, we had to wait weeks or months to hear any news about the outcome of our exploratory endeavors. Now, we're visiting other worlds and following along from our homes at near instantenous speeds. Exciting!
