“There will always be sailors (vid) who go down to the sea in ships, or throw themselves off into the unknown void," space adventure movie actor Tom Hanks said in a recent interviews with CNN and the Orlando Sentinel.
“You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it’s like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos. I want to see what it looks like, up close. I want to see what you can pull out of the ground, what minerals that exist there, whether or not there’s ice in those dark shadows around the southern Pole, deep in the craters.
“That is the way I was wired when I was young and growing up. Other people had their own international adventures as their goals. But the idea that I could turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper and people were going to the moon while I was alive filled me with the romance of that endeavor. It hasn’t gone away.
“If they could offer up a way to go to the moon that wouldn’t kill you, I’d sign up. First in line. Just to see what it looks like," Hanks said.
