I really don't have a clue where this goes, but I don't really think it's philosophy...
I'm going to kick this over to Misc. Discussions, and hope that's close enough. Away to another time and place! :thumbs: ~Aethari |

I'm familiar with the quote from playing Alpha Centauri, it was in one of the wonder movies.
"The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever." Konstantin Tsiolkovsky The Father of Rocketry |

In reference to Solaris's reply
Thank you, but do you know what it means?
I have wondered for a while myself. Yes, I did find it from Alpha Centuria, but afterwords, I did a bit of research on the actual quote. Any suggestions? |

"The Earth is the cradle of Mankind, but one does not live in the cradle
forever." - Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (rocket scientist) 1895 I think it's pretty self-explainatory... Ad Astra, and all that. |
