The rockets we launch into the universe are like every wooden ship that we launch into the sea to explore new continents. But the universe is much bigger and much deeper than the ocean. It took us millions of years to achieve some degree of autonomy on Earth. In the universe, a million years ago and a million years later are just a blink of an eye. In this blink of an eye, we still have no one to rely on in the universe.
The rocket is in deep space, everything is so unfamiliar, everything is so silent. Astronauts represent the highest physical quality of human beings and the best brain response to crises. They had to face the hope given to them by a race and travel alone in deep space. And this trip is different from the past. The unknown he will face is the darkness that is enough to erode the entire human race. But his every move has created history, even if the way back is still uncertain.
Why should we spend taxpayer dollars exploring new universes? We are too dependent on the earth. On Earth, there is a landscape that can take a lifetime to turn around, and on Earth there is money and power that takes a lifetime to feel dissatisfied with. We are deeply blinded by the "small home" earth, and forget that the meaning of our human being is to continue, but not to continue on the earth. We must take one step, two steps to the universe.
Humans are ugly, but the appearance of human beings who refuse to admit defeat is very charming. We have only a short life, a person who pushes society forward by a nanometer, and dies without even a little push in time. While our society is progressing, it consumes too many people's lives. All of our cutting-edge science and technology must represent the life achievements of generations and dozens of generations. Every fresh and independent life can only be turned into a pile of burials who accompany the past in the end.
Let me find a non-religious meaning for human beings, that is, for the continuation of human beings. Although this is a biological instinct, at the same time as we explore, we will also make people respectable when the bat shakes the tree. ,cute.
Politics, for human beings themselves, is only a way to maintain the status quo of society. But technology is the power that can completely subvert politics and all those in power. We use technology to explore the future and touch the frontier at the end of the world. I am deeply grateful to every scientist who strives for humanity. It is a pity that in reality, politics still hinders the development of technology. Politics preserves the society brought about by technology, but attempts to manipulate technology. Politics is maintaining social stability, but it is actually dragging down the progress of mankind.
The moon landing program began with the "space race", a contest between the United States and the Soviet Union in space. Although it was a political start, although it was a congressional appropriation, everything was overshadowed by Armstrong. Carrying the dream of mankind for millions of years, he took a small step gently, making a perfect comma for mankind's exploration of space. We have waited too long for this step.
Whoever seizes the initiative in space first has the right to negotiate conditions with any country. Technology is a force that overrides power, but often has to be subordinated to politics.
When we abandon our socially bound love and go to technology, I think we are extremely great at this moment.
It would be hypocrisy to use one word to represent politics. When it comes to representing science in one word, I feel that only [awe] can express my heart. We have exhausted all the cutting-edge technologies just to send humans to the front of the universe and shake hands with another dimension. Maybe the next second human beings will be destroyed by the universe, but as ants, we once crawled far away from home, and we told the universe that we humans once existed and explored "you".
Religion has lost all power of justification in the face of technology.
