It's Full of Stars

China launched and landed a rover on the moon. I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he said, “Here comes the new space race!” I don’t think so but if that was the case I think it would be an opportunity lost. Why not internationalize the space program? I suppose I see something like that as one or more bricks on the Yellow Brick Road. Heart, hope and happily ever after lies just up ahead. I don’t know. It seems kind of boring, doesn’t it? Everybody living in peace and happiness and matching teal tunics. We like to think of our lives in heroic terms rather than seek a contemplative life. We struggle, we compete, we overcome. Man vs. man, man vs. himself, man vs. nature. Man vs. those extra 10 pounds.
