RE: What Is Your Source of Inspiration?
For me, it comes as a result of the way I feel awestruck when observing how we as human beings have come this far, from such small beginnings, to understand and master the Universe and its laws to the extent that we have. How I feel humbled when reflecting on how much our current well-being is a result of the efforts, struggles, and sacrifices of brave, smart, innovative, ambitious and creative scientists, inventors, philosophers and persons contributing to the progress of mankind.
When I reflect on that incredible journey we are on, and the fact that I, right now, have an opportunity in this brief period that I am alive, to contribute to its further progress, I am not only inspired and motivated, I feel like I am part of something greater than myself.
Wow man. You and I have the exact same thoughts about this. It's like you took the words out of my brain and typed this!!! I always think about the same and get lost in these thoughts for hours on end! Everything that we are today is the sum of everything that we did in the past. We are lucky to have had some great, smart people that have pushed humanity forward by centuries.
You are lucky that you get to be a part of something that has such a direct impact on humanity. I am happy for you. Much respect :)
Hehe, yes I do get the impression that we tend to be on the same page a lot more often than not^^
Oh I'm just humble that I get to be a part, if only a small part (yet), of this great endeavor. But the next years are going to be a whole lot more exciting, as space is opening up more to new players as launch frequencies goes up and costs goes down ;)
Yes, that's pretty exciting. I hope I get to go to space one time in my life. :)
