As the old saying goes, "Shoot for the moon, land among the stars." I don't know about you, but that phrase alone sparked my imagination so much as a child. I realize it's a simple turn of phrase meant to illustrate that you can never dream too big, but the image of rocketing up to the moon, not quite making it, and instead hanging out amongst a crystalline network of stellar objects captured my young mind and hasn't let it go. I'd love to land among the stars. The stars are my friends.
Perhaps this was the developing mind of a budding sci-fi enjoyer. I was begging to be whisked away to another world, one better than my own, full of impossibilities and celestial companions. Good thing I have these sci-fi memes to remind me of my roots. They're the thing that allows me to remain attached to this realm while daydreaming about another.
