Where are we headed? Living in times of paradox, times where we are able to visit and explore another worlds but also times where we can wipe ourselves out from the world that gave us birth and provided all the tools and shelter necessary for us to take the great journey towards the cosmos.

Where are we headed? Living in times of paradox, where we were capable of seeding the sense of vision, of hearing, of smell and of touch across the solar system and, at a same time, days where we are blind, def, forgotten of the scent and textures of our own planet.

Where are we headed? Living in times of paradox, able to have humans building the dream of a permanent presence of members of our species in space, while on Earth war, poverty, famine, ignorance, fundamentalism, pollution, rule our existence.

Where are we headed?
Back to the Moon and Beyond or back to the Stone Age and Oblivion?

Who are we? A species with the singular power to exterminate itself or the primates with a singular ability to resist adversity and to rise from the ashes of failures and fly like the Phoenix towards Mars? We are both.
A Day for Earth. 33 Days to Mars.
Time for reflection.
