Outstanding vid good song choice
and it puts things into perspective .The funny thing is , this is thinking on a level that the people of the 21st centry have to embrace and espire to , it also gives an explanation or justification of the human efort and billions spent on the subject of “space” .
This is the type of thinking that can lead to ,
true globalisation and world peace .

Very impressive for a first draft. The SAS has a version that for now, is something of an official version.
