I feel the rumble as the combustion sequence commences. Fuel, surging through the hull's sturdy pipes, rattles my body as I strap my chest in tighter. First, a flicker. An invisibly small spark of heat, but it's all it takes before my ears are split by an earth-shattering roar. A mighty, fierce roar - a roar that screams the sound of human achievement. A roar that pierces through the crowd of awestruck onlookers, desperate to catch a glimpse of the mighty titan before them; barely comprehending, for fleeting moments, how it must feel to be onboard. They're imagining what it is to be a pioneer, a frontiersman; a pathfinder.

As our very cores are pressed harder and harder into our seats, I open my eyes - and realise for the first time that we are airborne. Hurtling, launching; trailblazing into the sky with ferocious power. Around me, all lights are green - dashboards are flashing, the ecstatic screams of the launch crew are blaring into my ear - but I see only one thing.

I see us. From a million miles above, soaring into the heavens, spiraling into unknown heights. From here I see the glow we leave behind us, dimly illuminating a world that was just too late. A globe left behind, the last glimmer of hope fading before them. As we break orbit, our fire ceases to warm the atmosphere - but its echoes are present; circling the stratospheric haze like a grieving mother with a lamp. I am sad, sad for the ocean of red below me. But I hold. Steadfast, always onwards; I gaze into the vast, infinite expanse before me. I look to my brothers onboard beside me, and they look at me. We've made it.

What will you be when this happens, /biz/? On the ground, or in the heavens?

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
