Space travel is at its most convincing when it manages to upgrade this second expectation with the magic of the first. But the underdog approaches things differently. In his space fantasies, in all the dreams about space which only exist in the media, the infiniteness of nature is not invoked in order to upgrade one's own ability, but rather to see the expectant underdog proved right. Everythink is different to what anyone of this world of today thinks. That sky is all different.
Space serves as living proof of another high order's infinite possibilities.
It will allow us to see through the loaded deck of humanity's spurious control. The underdog is looking forward to the moment when NASA will have to back-pedal from the notion that miracles stem from months of calculations and endless fiddling with solar panels. If those people from Mars communicate with people of this earth, people won't be able to do their work properly. Whereas NASA relies on what they already know, the underdog trusts in what he doesn't know. The provocative thing is that all we can do is wait and see what actually is going on.
