I go outside at night to see the stars. Seeing them gives me a feeling of longing, of homesickness. I ache to be among them in a way that I don't understand. I don't belong here on Earth, yet here I am, only physically, for my soul is always among the stars.

We are always at the beginning. Every time I look closer at a wonderful thing being explored right now, I see just a hint of the true potential of the thing. No matter how far we think we’ve come, since the ancient Greeks, the age of enlightenment, the industrial revolution, since the dawn of the rocket age and the computer age, all of that put together just paints a hazy impressionist picture of the potential outcome. Everywhere we look there is technology that, while often not as new as we think, is about to offer rapid change to our world. The roots of things like AI and 3d printing are older than you think, but what we can do with them is just at the very start of a explosion of application that hasn’t been seen since the steam engine and widespread electricity. At the same time, these technological changes will alter our society and culture in ways that we’ve never seen. None of the tech booms of the past will compare to what could be getting underway right now.

We are always at the beginning. People still do awful things to each other. I just read a story about a group of people kidnapping and beating a mentally disabled young man. They will be charged with a hate crime, in part because of the racial epithets they used at they live streamed the event on Facebook. To me, things like this, the war in Syria, all of it, sits like a rock in my gut. This repeated cycle of hate a violence, mistrust and abuse is a failure of civilization. It’s a failure of us being better than our gut-level instinct and emotional reactions might want us to be. If we can’t avoid giving in to violent reactions and if we, as a civilization, can’t learn to avoid the inequality, hopelessness, and rage that leads people to act out or allows them to be mislead, we will fail.

I do not see anywhere there is a prime directive for encounters with other species in the eventuality. if someone has seen a portion in the constitution please let me know where. non resource use of their environments should be a concern. also, what step are we allowed contact. these are important ratifications in case we encounter life forms in our own solar system, from amebias to higher life forms. discussion anyone?

Not a day has gone by, since I was a little girl, my neck bent, and my eyes looking up, every night out of my bedroom window, while most pray looking down, I would release my being into the vast night-sky, my prayer not of words repeated, just gratitude, pouring out of me, to the universe.  In turn, through the years, as if knowing this from me, has given back to me how very close we stand to the distance of each star.  I to this day, each and every night, release myself, going there and back in my soul, and there is a United Soul, it lives and feels and breaths back to me, we are one, we on earth are made from them, each and every Star, is connected inside of us.

When the gravity of my life, sad situations, physical pain, enduring, broke apart my heart from loss, I always found solstice, out there, somewhere, and the small Gravity that weighs so heavy on us here, the universe releases me from it, and reminds me just as it  exists, still,  there is so much more!! We just have to take a leap of faith, and go find it!

Freedom to express inner beauty and emotions that reflect all religions without human dogma. Written works of men who claim to have secret knowledge only to lead humans to fear and destruction. Religion has no place in our new world. Hope, love and empathy for all living creatures. Understanding the macro-systems that indeed effect the micro-systems of unity. Team work with the understanding one thought leads to others communicating together in unity. One idea shall never be dismissed as unworthy unless it intends to hurt our laws, and constitution. Spiritual essence captured in our hearts as powerful light sources, to lead others from the darkness. Respect all life forms never provoking unlawful ideals or harm. I am an old soul with dignity, leadership, teacher, mentor, and a loyal heart. I will govern in fairness to all people of our city. No idea will ever left behind, because a true leader creates leaders. After all the wave that figured out it was a part of something bigger than its self was proud to be called the ocean and not just a wave.

The old saying of, "land of opportunity" well what about the future. See from what mother earth shows us all is that there is a limited amount of minerals that can be taken.

There for I say, look to the universe for space of opportunities.

Hello! I am only 17 years old and am unsure if I'm allowed to be a citizen. I would hope to be able to begin to shape this concept into a reality and I am happy to hear that the first satellite launch is eminent. I am currently hoping to pursue a career in politics, environment, science, or something space related and therefor am happy to be here. I would write more but have final exams. Let's make this happen!
