dancing with the stars

what is out there? i mean up, way up and beyond. are there other earths? how far has anybody actually traveled? we see with the naked eye the sun and moon, thousands of twinkling stars and constellations with ancient names. we have satellite images of distant planets, rocks from the moon, dust from mars, at least i think we do. but what lays beyond? heaven? hell? a cosmic pinball machine? does anybody really know? are we supposed to know? as a child i always wondered what would happen if you could travel beyond. once you get past our galaxy, our solar system....then what? an identical one? a parallel one? a thousand light years ahead or behind? what does one find in infinity? questions like these have been around since man first gazed at the stars and tried to put some meaning to it all. who knows why we continue to dance with the stars? and to wonder? jc, lost in space
