A Galactical Question Arises

I’m a big fan of science fiction.
I used to read a ton of Heinlein
when I was an adolescent. And
I’ve been a Trekkie since about
the very beginning. But I’d have
to tell you that I have absolutely
no desire to leave the atmosphere
of this planet, not in this lifetime.
There’s a lot of beautiful reasons
that those books and shows and
flicks fall within the realm of
what we call fiction, as far
as I’m concerned. My
pioneering days are
over, I’m pretty sure,
and I’d rather remain
as grounded as possible
throughout whatever future
I might have waiting for me.
