BACK FROM ORBIT

AS I WOKE UP THIS MORNING I TURNED ON MY TV AS I DO EVERY MORNING TO CHANNEL 5 TO WATCH GOOD DAY NY...WITHIN MINUTES THEY REMINDED ME THAT THE ASTRONAUTS WOULD BE RETURNING FROM THIER SPACE MISSION AND LANDING SHORTLY.

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, DAMN BARELY 100 YEARS AGO THE CAR WAS INVENTED AND NOW WE ARE TRAVELING IN SPACE...I WONDER HOW LONG OFF IS A SPACE COLONY ON THE MOON OR ANY MANNED MISSIONS TO MARS IS GOING TO BE...

I WONDER WILL I SEE IT IN MY LIFETIME SOME OF THOSE GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS IN HUMAN HISTORY.

AS I PONDERED THAT I WONDERED WHO WOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO IN SPACE? WOULD THERE BE ANY PREJUDICES AGAINST ANY PEOPLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON FOR THEM NOT TO GO? OR WOULD A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION BE MANDATED TO GO TO SPACE TO RID THEM FROM EARTH?

JUST SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS I HAD THIS MORNING.
