No but try to convince Elon and his cronies of that. We need to take better care of the planet we have. Scientific exploration can be done by robots and those are only getting better with time. Human missions are mostly about national and corporate vanity.

And I say that as a fan of novels like The Martian Chronicles and Red Planet.

2nd set

Tesla

Gettin' Better

Billy Squier

Lonely Is The Night

Ella Langley

Whiskey Don't Text Back

Some what you say has merit but let's not discount the "flast" in all of our DNA The urge of what's over the next hill or across the water facing us. Can't blame Elon that his "manifest destiny" is strong. Think what if the Danes with their long ships said "nah. We'll sail around here," then head west and follow the stars??

Speaking of 'exploring the outerspace', I love how poetic artists use 'the cosmos' in many songs. This one was one of my favourites back in college. The same song played when I was asked by a random guy for a dance for the first time.

Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you

'Cause your light shines so bright
I don't feel [no] solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven if I do?

I have four cats. I rescued three of them.

I have four cats. I rescued three of them.

My "grandkitty", i.e. my son and d-i-l's cat, was a rescue they adopted as a kitten. Nice cat but came with a bundle of health problems.

I put a post on my profile about the new story. Not sure there's much new to glean from it, but it mostly reflects on how cruising fits into my life, leading to this story.

Darjeeling tea. Some seriously heavy rain here last night. Bit of lightning and thunder, too, but it sounded like quite a downpour. Good morning.

Suitable music for the weather here.
