leave this planet and expand across the solarsystem. One day to venture out
among the stars
and make the universe our home.
For many ages we have searched for the meaning of life. Now biochemists
are handing
the world the meaning and its chemical formula. This is great knowledge. The

wisdom is what we do with that knowledge.
