The whole empire, and probably most of the world, are watching with baited breath as an astronaut under your great flag glides out of the newly constructed space station for the first time. After the first few steps of this inaugural spacewalk, the astronaut speaks directly to you. 'This thin blue line,' they say, pointing, 'is all that stands between all life on Earth and the cold, dark void of space. It is a truly humbling experience.' Along with the rest of the empire, they await your reply. Your words will shape and inspire a generation. What will you say?
Yet, with our intellect—and courage—we will bridge that gap and usher in a new age.
And we will be humble, yet brave, as we build our way to the stars!
Truly breathtaking. This vista can inspire each and every last one of us to live our best, most productive, life.
