I replied in pride, “I am OK go. I am all ready to launch off!”

As my space shuttle is being shot into the sky, at the bottom of my heart, I feel how magnificent technology
has been for the human race. While I hope the human race would keep up the good momentum in the past
twenty years to love and respect each other, I am on my mission to explore the universe and to help solve
the greatest mystery - “Are we alone?” When we sail to uncharted waters, conquer new territories and
break through new fronts on technology, who knows what would come next? Just as back then in 2020,
who would have thought that the Greater Bay Area would become a better place than the Garden of Eden
in Genesis?
