I moved out of my parental home from tiny and charming hometown named Brok to the newly-bought flat in enormous Warsaw in 2004 when I was nineteen years old.
It was not a simple decision, but my beloved Mum, Dad, and I were convinced that it would be a crucial next step in my development as a man. In 2004 I started studying. We knew that, in this case, moving out of the home is the natural order of things. Still, in this post, I did not want to focus on moving out of the house by myself. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian and Soviet rocket scientist, was a pioneer of astronautic theory. In one of his letters from 1911, he wrote that:
The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but we cannot live forever in a cradle.
Is moving out of home, that is leaving by humans our lovely planet Earth is humanity’s inevitable fate? I do not know it. It sounds like a scenario for a science-fiction movie. Undoubtedly, it would be a tremendous success to colonize Mars, for example. I can imagine that we already appeared on Earth because our civilization, placed on a distant planet, nearby ready-to-burn-out, similar to our Sun, star, sent a spaceship to Earth to save the human species. If it would be true, why we still did not find the primeval spaceship? Because this theory is as magical as fictional. The truth is that most people love to observe stars. We feel an unexplainable and unspoken bond with the Universe. Who knows, perhaps our civilization already moved out of home hundred of thousands of years ago?
Moreover, perhaps it is a matter of time when we have to do it once again? I love science-fiction thanks to, among others, Stanislaw Lem’s novels or George Lucas’ “Star Wars” trilogy (1977-1983).
Sometimes I imagine traveling back in time to see the first human’s rising primitive houses or to move to the future to observe the colonization of Mars. Today (I wrote this post on the 22nd of July, 2021), I focus on exploring Warsaw’s streets.
