Another one occurred to me as I read these submissions, and it comes from the immortal [Donovan Leitch](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/donovan/the+intergalactic+laxative_20282958.html). “Oh, the intergalactic laxative, Will get you from here to there. Relieve you and believe me, Without a worry or care. If shitting is your problem, When you’re out there in the stars, Oh, the intergalactic laxative Will get you from here to Mars.” ---

“The arching sky is calling Spacemen back to their trade. ALL HANDS! STAND BY! FREE FALLING! And the lights below us fade.” ~Robert A. Heinlein BONUS (too big for your purposes, but too cool not to post)… We have to stay here and there’s a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you’ll get ten different answers, but there’s one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won’t just take us. It’ll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu, Einstein, Morobuto, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes … and all of this … all of this was for nothing unless we go to the stars." ~Commander Jeffrey Sinclair, Babylon 5 More here… [http://scv.bu.edu/~aarondf/b5quotes.html](http://scv.bu.edu/~aarondf/b5quotes.html) ---

In the final decade of the 21st Century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon. By 2200 AD, they had reached the other planets of our solar system. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first obtained and later greatly surpassed. And so, at last, mankind began the conquest and colonization of deep space.
