It has been a hot day...Tuesday the eight of June.... And today we all could see the planet Venus over the sun.... Fascinating.. Just a dot on the giant of our Sun... With the achievement of science and technology we are able to accurately gauged the position of all those planets in our solar system... In the period of superstitious belief, this would be a different story, clouded with myth and mystery... Just like the old story of the eclipse of the moon, where people were made to believed that the dragon had swallowed the moon and then the had to make as much noise as possible to chase the dragon away.... It was just a raw belief for not understanding the real science and now we knew that all those tales of the dragon and other stories were purely the imagination of man for lack of knowledge... We are now lucky that we live in a period of great scientific break through and the technology that came along have given us more knowledge of our world and the space where other planets move in well coordinated way... Making it one of the wonder of nature.... We hope that in not too distance future we human would be able to travel to these faraway planets and perhaps create a new civilization much better then the one we have on this planet we call earth.... I hope that when man move to colonized the other planets they would leave behind all the myth and belief that are mere imagination of man than facts and create a new society of human more intelligent, free of raw belief of superstitious and myth.... Only then we would be able to live in peace and harmony..... And venture on into space... To places where no man have gone before.... The adventure of star track became a reality.... I was thinking of writing his while driving to the airport to fetch our daughter who is returning home for a semester break....She left Boston on the evening of the six and in mere twenty four hours she is back home in Kuala Lumpur... What a marvel to live and study... To the present generation like our children, traveling long distance has became second nature to them and because their mind have been so conditioned, traveling became just easy.... Jump into a plane at point A and off you go to point B.... Just like that..... All these achievement of making traveling better,faster and safer came about because we have taken the trouble to accumulate knowledge over time and with the ingenuity of the human mind we have manage to create machine that could fly, that was unthinkable just a few century ago.... Who would believe that such a huge aircraft like the Seven Four Seven or the jumbo could ever took off the ground.... And it did and today with other achievement in aviation we could travel with ease from one point to another point on this planet is mere hours.. Thanks to the great man and women of science that had made all these possible... And as for me during my lifetime.... Where in our childhood a single seated airplane was a rare sight and traveling on it was just for a privilege few.... So we had just to dream and dreamed we did... And as time goes by, with education and the country prosperity came the opportunity to fly in one.... I am happy that I had flown in many such aircrafts so far and because of this it has taken me to places that I once dream of it only....And it became a reality..... That is life my friends... And the future awaits us with more interesting and challenging time... In traveling..... Making distance so short, just like being in cyberspace......
