I aspire to travel the world, to see it's wonders and beauty. However, there's nothing that consumes me more than the thought of free-floating hundreds of kilometres above the surface of the planet and witnessing it's beauty in whole. I did not study astronomy yet I learnt the names of constellations and of galaxies far away. I learnt the laws of physics that define it and various theories relating to the universe and space. I learnt of ancient civilizations that built monumental structures in line with the stars, so that we today, can understand the significance they saw when they looked up. I, like many others, look up to the sky in awe, somewhat overwhelmed yet humbled by the vastness of space. Yet I, unlike many others, have come to understand what it is exactly that I look up to and it's significance.
