Intro Page

Dedicated to my family

And to the many people

Throughout my life that

Have propelled me forward

With kindness and support.

To the people who help get this

Book published, promoted,

Distributed and into your hands.

And to you for the curiosity

To pick it up and begin to read

And to begin to smile n understand.

I also dedicate this work

To helping humanity learn the

Brutal truth that we are

Not alone in the Universe

And that we need to expand

Into the Cosmos in a big way

As soon as fast and

With as many people as possible.

A spacewalk should be a requirement

To graduate high school.
