Of course, there are those who do not care- the universe is remote and irrelevant to current events and personal priorities. For them, if space's a place, it's far apart from their everyday life. Sadly, they fail to see that we are fish, this planet is our aquarium. Oops, perhaps I've digressed...

Okay, there's one final thought, please let me share, that's central to my theme- Perhaps science and direct observation cannot prove everything and a dash of something else is required to help focus the truth. Therefore, since I believe faded starlight is in our blood, I suspect someplace close to the heart of space I've been seeking is actually inside us- just feel the throb in your chest next time you look up at the night sky.
