Thank you for my birthday wishes! 

In honor of my Birthday "Space Suit," here is a quote-- which after more than 100 years-- I absolutely believe is coming to fruition (to realization):


And then, the Earth being small, mankind will migrate into space, and will cross the airless Saharas which separate planet from planet and sun from sun. The Earth will become a Holy Land which will be visited by pilgrims from all the quarters of the Universe. Finally, men will master the forces of Nature; they will become themselves architects of systems... manufacturers of worlds.

- Winwood Reade, THE MARTYRDOM OF MAN, 1872 (!!)
