In February of 1971, astronaut Edgar Mitchell was returning to earth after walking on the Moon. As he looked out of the craft at the panoramic view before him, he experienced a sudden profound shift in consciousness he would later describe as “samadhi,” or enlightenment.
Mitchell also became aware of a vastness within himself that mirrored that of space.“All matter in our universe,” he stated, “is created in star systems, and so the matter in my body, the matter in the spacecraft, the matter in my partners’ bodies, was the product of stars. We are stardust, and we’re all one in that sense.”
Humans have expressed their fascination with space exploration almost since the
beginning of our history and, unlike the early explorers on this planet, space
exploration has always been less about “conquering” and more about
observation, expansion and innovation.
It is an opportunity to stretch our human potential.
It brings us hope for the future.
Every citizen of the World must repossess space, now. This is where we all come
from, after all; it is the atomic composition of our every cell. In 2022, when
Qosmosys begins sending materials, tools, objects, or any life form, into space in
the near future, it will also accomplish a symbolic, useful and necessary gesture
that enriches and elevates every human into its vastness.
As we’ve seen in the case of Mitchell and other space travelers, the greatest gift outer space offers us is an expanded perspective of life,
our planet, and ourselves. Qosmosys is the facilitator that binds everyone on the planet with the immensity of space.
Never before have we been so confronted with the fragility of the world, its cultural and economic institutions, and humanity itself. It is
easy to get so embroiled in the busyness of our lives that we rarely step out of our own small corner of the world.
