ultranos: kino standing, staring ahead (where the wild dreams are)
Because as a child, I remember my parents buying me a telescope for my birthday and my father and I on an October night in southeastern Wisconsin trying to see the stars with it for the very first time.

Because I know people who still dream of space, despite all the setbacks and budget cuts to NASA. Despite seeing professors whose own dreams turned to ash in Challenger. Despite all those who say it's not worth it and we have better things to spend our time and money on.

We still dream of the stars.
