"THE FINAL FRONTIER"

Robert John Russell

To the Stars

"WE SHALL NOT stay forever on this planet, the nursery of our species. We shall explore 'the final frontier', journeying out among the stars, perhaps discovering life and an interstellar community almost beyond our present imaginings. And awaiting us in the future of our future, and journeying with us along the treacherous and joyous path, will be that same God—our immanent, closest friend and our final home."
