I can hear the people reading this one saying, “Wait, what?!” I have a love-fear relationship with space. I have dreams of falling planets, me floating aimlessly in the outer darkness, and exploding stars. Yet, I have always been drawn to space, being in a rocket, and orbiting the planet. As a child, I never played house, I either lined up all of my toys and played professor or played musical conductor. I’ve always wanted to be in front of an orchestra, leading them in music composed, not by just one of the great masters, but by me. Somewhere along the line I got it in my head that I could accomplish this from above the Earth’s atmosphere! I envision it as a huge, global concert, with performers from all over the globe with full satellite coverage in every part of the world. The concert would be called, “One Big Tribe” and for one day, hopefully the futility and stupidity of killing each other would stop for a few hours because like it or not, we’re part of “one big tribe” on one small planet. And of course, any and all money raised would go to charity. Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic, I’m looking at you to get me into space! ;-)
