I'm watching several television screens. On one is NASA television. On another is continuing, live coverage by NBC, carried on MSNBC.
An expert interviewed on MSNBC spoke of the "big dream" that we must dream, and expressed his hope that we will eventually not only land individuals on Mars, but colonize it.
America's dreams for landing astronauts on the Moon in ten years are now common knowledge, and the President, Congress, NASA, and space enthusiasts all around the world are looking forward to and working toward that goal.
The "big dream" of colonizing space and Mars goes beyond even that. According to NBC, humanity has had a continuous presence in orbital space since 2000. In a sense, we've already started the process of colonizing space. The challenge is to continue to dream, and to make that dream a reality.
Soon, for the first time, humanity may become an interplanetary species.
Let us all work in concert toward that beautiful objective.
