of Mars

Henceforth I spread confident wings to space;
I fear no barrier of crystal or of glass;
I cleave the heavens and soar to the infinite.
And while I rise from my own globe to others
And penetrate even further through the eternal field,
That which others saw from afar, I leave far behind me.

(Giordano Bruno)


My mind is on Mars lately, in a much more abstract way than the rest of the nightly news watchers. My mind is on Mars, and so is my name.

On that beautiful red red world, where the moons are tiny and the sun is tiny, and everywhere you look all you see is planet - on that beautiful red red world, there is one working lander in a graveyard of expired American machinery. And on that lander there is a DVD with my name on it.

On Mars.
