Cat Launcher
"What, space travel? Why?"
"Because I want to go to the cat planet!"
"What's on a cat planet?"
“Weightlessness and cats everywhere! That would be great!"
Starlight illuminates the universe
Cute astronauts are playing together there.
I'd like to go to such a universe.
"But what kind of planet would you like?"
"A fashionable planet! Shopping with cats!"
Shopping with cats on a fashionable planet! How fun that sounds!
"Won't you miss me if I go that far?"
"Not if I have the cats!"
I'm sure you'll have a great time on any planet with cats.
"What do aliens look like?"
"I hope they have ears like cats!"
I'm sure we'd get along great with aliens who have ears like cats.
A great adventure flying around the universe with cats!
I'm sure it will be filled with lots of laughter and fun!
But then again, cats do play tricks on the control levers of spacecraft.
Besides, space travel is a luxury hobby.
And even though we've gone beyond man, beyond the treetops, beyond the moon, to the throne of God, we still have to pay our dues.
There are many people on earth who suffer from poverty and hunger.
I wonder if the day will ever come when this imbalance will disappear.
The cats suddenly find themselves pondering.
