Traveling at the speed of light.

Searching for knowledge beyond the known stars.

An infinite wellspring of resource and intrigue.

A journey through time, to expand our own minds.

As we slip through states of matter, new insight is born.

To be one with the vibration of infinity, to master our ethereal form.

I think of all the ones we left behind.

Their hopes invested in us, to find something more.

I know not what lies ahead, or what we will find.

All we can do is venture ever forward.

I fear nothing, or no one. I only fear defeat.

Failure, is not an option, I will never retreat.

Challengers of the unknown.

Discovering new worlds.

Evolution of humankind.

Breaking all boundaries.

My fragile human form is being pushed to its limits.

Time dilation pushes and pulls me as I traverse the folds of spacetime.

My crew is on the brink of madness.

But we must not give up.

There is no turning back, there is nowhere to run.

There is only our mission.

Challengers of the unknown.

Discovering new worlds.

Evolution of humankind.

Breaking all boundaries.

Dark matter clouds, causing interference.

We are thrown off course.

A black hole has taken hold.

Its gravity is in control.

We cross the event horizon…

Stretched into particles.

Transformed into light.

A rebirth into something more.

Something unknown.

Unknown…

We are the challengers of the unknown.
