Lighter Than Fiction
A
Ball
see it rise
like a
balloon
massive fire-disk reflects
sun on fine sheets of steel
skinned over heat foam all
connected on
a track of circles
pipes and control refined
layers gas filled
rise high into space
tanks compress gas
engines flare and drive toward
and orbit with the Moon and then to Mars
inside a chamber
plates cover spheres
modules with landing gear
for exploration
living quarters
oxygen and water manufacturing
some keep going to Mars and
others stay in Moon’s orbit to collect data
unmanned rockets
drive ships
recyclable into living space
one way ships sent daily
supply Moon base and Mars base are
recycled
new engines build
more modules in space
3 square miles of ship
opened out and locked together with
micro factories and labs
industry space and home
more modules to explore our solar system
and beyond
We need a new Moon base!
Who wants an ice cave on Mars?
money is
out there to
build the economy
sell
6 month trips to your own
Moon Base Hotel
just …
please, please stop killing each other
and if you must leave this world in search of freedom then
it is a big universe
build a new engine
not
a new bomb
spread mankind
not
end it
human race is on
find Moon Gold
wonder what a Mars diamond looks like
lay down the weapons now
pretty please with
jam on it
