We on this planet are space explorers, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not.

We are riding on this huge space station known as Earth, being led on our way through space by our star, the Sun. We are riding around the Milky Way galaxy, in an orbit we have no control over. Our Galaxy is in constant movement away from where it started from. We will never be in the same place again, since, our whole planetary system is being dragged along an orbit around a galaxy, and which galaxy is taking us all to places unknown. We are going to new places each and every second of our lives, and eventually, in millions or billions of years, we might have a chance to get off this planet and this star and this galaxy, in some more strange part of the universe.
