Per Aspera Ad Astra

In a time of desperation, we need to shed the pessimism that clouds our judgement. The human species is defined not by its wars or suffering or blunders, but by the transcendent power of hope. The belief in a better future for our kids and ourselves.

Whatever the reason we first mustered the courage for greatness, our past is paved with it. We need to remember. We need to re-experience.

We once put a man on the moon. What else are we capable of?

We have to strive for greatness, the only meaning the universe has to offer is not found in our past, but in the goals we set for our future. Humanity is full of endless talent and beauty, but more important, dedication to transcendence.
