Giant Leap for Mankind

The bad news is that Neil Armstrong has left us for the stars; it is very sad. He will be the brightest star in the sky. He was the most loved astronaut and a role model for children of all ages. He had started an era of exploration. But even now there are no colonies in space; nor are any plans for them. There no more manned explorations. Sending satellites and assessing Earth’s climate, mapping geographical boundaries, and global positioning remain our primary goals. Ever since man landed on the moon, there have been giant leaps in progress of technology. But for the common human being, nothing has happened. We are still battling for basic needs. Why? We have the technology to run the government well (E governance initiatives) But we have a government which wants its own way of doing things. We are a good people, with bad persons ruling us. We are tired of the same old routine of why we cannot be a successful nation—mediocrity in governance.  Same story is repeated in several countries, now. We are stuck in this world. Why can’t we leave the world and start new journeys?  May be we will discover new planets with new mineral resources. And then there will be more fights on who will get it; the wealthy persons will reach it first. And then it would be allocation quarrels all over again.  The leap we require should be in making better associations of man with man. We have conquered machines, but for what? To argue more and fight more,claiming "this is mine", "that is mine" and allocation issues will arise again. We have hold all mineral ressources as belonging to all, we are just care takers. We need to take a leap in "cooperation and in sharing" so that the human race can further progress.
