The moon today is fantastic. It is a big round ball with a dash of thin wispy clouds across it. I was staring at it while waiting for my mother today. Everytime I look up into the sky, I don't think about the planes up there. I go further out and think about the stars and planets out there in the vast, infinite space. I wonder how God could have created something as beautiful as that. It is beyond the imagination of any human being. The dimension up there is so fascinating yet so fearful. Imagine the speed of the asteroids and meteorites, and imagine them crashing down. Imagine the sheer heat of the sun and the emptiness of space itself. I shudder to think of being thrown up there.
Since young, I have always dreamt of studying about space. It was my major interest then, it still is now. I though it cool to be an astronomer of some scientist involved in a space exploration project. I would spend all my time working and discovering new life-forms, new minerals, strange happenings and interesting facts about space. Unfortunately, there are no chances for that here. I can only be contented with watching and imagining things from a little bus-stop down here on Earth.
