1: Stars - As Heard from Earth and in Space
Looking up at the night sky, stars and constellations shine in harmony.
There is life in the air.
You step onto a beam of light, look up, and ascend, before taking flight, seeing the world from a bird’s eye view.
The light soars upwards, through Earth’s violent atmosphere.
The flight is intense, but you realise that you are nearly through. A sense of triumph builds.
And space.
The same constellations visible from below are clearer now, and as you turn back, you see the splendour of Earth.
There is a sombre moment as you turn and look out into the void of space.
Until eventually the solar system becomes visible in its entirety.
And you float, revering, before soaring again with the light.
