I'm an Observer.
My skin, a hundred yards of spotted flesh, draped across the contorting furniture of my space. My colorless eyes reflected the entire color spectrum. My legs, all sixty of them, were in various states of motion. A long leg curled around a floating body of water and I watched the universes through the liquid.
My senses shift through the universes until I detected him.
He piloted a Dynaject battleship against thousands of swarming, buzzing space creatures. A heartbeat before the space creatures disabled the battleship, I felt a tugging sensation at the back of my awareness. I responded to the summon and opened our connection. Seconds later, the battleship transformed.
Most of space creatures exploded from the power of the transformation.
The monstrous construction that the spacecraft morphed into began its battle.

Zachriel interrupted, "Fact is, I go into space and get shit done."
I could banter with him all day, but I didn't want to. In the complete safety of my haven, I began to create space. Stars twinkled around us and the icy trail of comets brushed against our skin as they wheezed pass. The Bureaucracy trained Enforcers to avoid black holes, but the ones I created couldn't devour us.

Your essays paired with “Cosmos” has changed my worldview entirely.…

    I found a short article written by George J. Flynn that was published in the Salem Press Encyclopedia January of this year. I learned a lot that I never knew before! I knew about the so called “space race” but I never knew how long it actually took to get a man on the moon and how many “stages” and trials it took! Before we actually got someone one the moon NASA spent a lot of time making a rocket that would get our astronauts into space.

    Mainstream and critical literary judgments rarely intersect. Paradoxically, scholars often regard a novel’s popularity as indicative of its ‘unliterariness’, prompting fervent backlash. Likewise, ‘high’ literature is commonly viewed as inaccessible to the general populous. Nevertheless, Douglas Adams’ acclaimed 1979 novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is an anomalous example wherein critical consensus reflects mainstream judgments.…

    Finally, Lewis uses his Biblical understanding of Heaven to signify that Heaven is immeasurably more important when in comparison to either Earth or Hell. The substance of Heaven is truer and the reality of Heaven much deeper than the temporal substance of Earth. Lewis demonstrates this through his description of Heaven and the corresponding description of Hell. He writes; I had the sense of being in a larger space, perhaps even a larger sort of space, than I had ever known before: as if the sky were further off and the extent of the green plain wider than they could be on this little ball of Earth. I had got "out" in some sense which made the Solar System itself seem an indoor affair.…

    In discussions of space exploration, one controversial issue has been whether or not humans should colonize space. Space colonization is the permanent habitation of any area outside of the Earth. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were in competition to become the ultimate spacefaring nation. Many people in the 1960s believed that within the decade, space exploration would be possible. Now as the technology to make faster and more powerful spacecrafts is progressing, the venture is becoming more and more of a reality.…
