“O
ne giant step for mankind” said Neil Armstrong when he first stepped onto the face of the moon.
And I ask: Mankind what are you seeking out there in space? What makes you so determined to conquer the heavens that you’re willing to spend billions upon billions to strip the veil of mystery from the secret of creation? What is the source of this relentless craving to know and understand everything about everything down to the ultimate tantalizing question: how did it all begin?
Is it really mere curiosity?
I can understand why you send satellites into outer space for purposes of communication weather monitoring and intelligence. But why did you also shoot a gigantic telescope into the heavens in an attempt to look upon the first moment of the “Big Bang ” which according to your theory was the beginning of this universe?
For some reason you are mesmerized by this riddle. You feel that you must have an answer to release you from this vague unfathomable discomfort. Does this explain your insatiable curiosity?
