The universe is so big, what with all of the stars, solar systems, planets, moons, galaxies. How do we know that we are the only ones? This always gets me wondering; curiosity killed the cat, I know I know, but I just can’t help it! I mean, I also know that I cannot find any answers... But what if you could? What if you could somehow magically find every single answer to every single question that anyone asked? What if you knew what someone else was saying, what if you could communicate telepathically? All of these questions and ‘what if’s’ We as humans allow are brains to wonder uncontrollably to different things, asking questions that we shall never know the answer to; believe in things that may or may not truly be there. Our brains are so advanced, yet we can only somehow use what was that percentage… oh yea, 5% of it? Imagine if we could use all of our brain’s power, imagine that?
In my eyes I always think about being Chinese; the reason for this is that I have never seen or heard of a ‘stupid Chinese person because they are taught discipline. Sometimes I wonder if every single Chinese baby is created via test tube and scientists insert each embryo with a solution allowing them to be amazingly intelligent and able to do anything; like a sort of genius superhero in a way. I just don’t understand why everyone can’t be like that, why everyone isn’t as smart as the other. Why we have some that can do things and some that can’t. Why can’t we all have the same talents and have the same IQ? If everyone was the same then we would all be treated the same way, Africans would probably be able to sort out their little poverty problem and the world could be green.
Just imagine that though? I sometimes like to think that there is an alternate universe that has all of the answers. That they have somehow managed to sort tall of this out and that they can use all 100% of their brains. I sometimes imagine that I’m there, sitting on one of those swing chairs on my porch. Everything is so quiet and serene it’s like a fairy-tale. Everyone is happy and smiling, no pollution fills the air. I’m like a super-human.
What if I told you that one day, I was actually able to visit this place… for real, not just inn my crazy imagination? What if I told you that it was exactly how I had imagined it to be? Well this is I suppose, why you are reading this; because this is the story about how I found out who I truly was, and what I can truly do.
It happened on May 7th 2013. I was doing my usual routine of cleaning the control rooms at NASA Space Station, picking up their left over foot tins, cans and paper and placing it into a rather large sack which I would then have to throw into the garbage pile. Now, I know what you’re probably thinking, how did someone like me get all the way over to an alternate universe when he wasn’t even qualified to fly a rocket… he probably wasn’t even qualified to drive a car… Well I will just let you know now that it was an accident. My daily routine at work is first cleaning the bathrooms, secondly I clean the control rooms and the offices and then finally, I clean the rockets. That is my favourite part of the day; because when I’m inside one… I just go off into my own little world. I sit in the control seat at the front of the rocket, looking up at the ceiling. I close my eyes and take a deep breath imagining that I was one of those pilots who are lucky enough to travel through the stars. This time, I did the usual, I sat down into the seat, buckling myself in and rested my head against the seat and just picturing what I could have become. It was always my dream, to become a pilot, put it never came true… I suppose it was because I just wasn’t that smart; or it could have been down to the fact that I failed my driving test about 37 times. But I have always wanted to travel the universe.
