Speech for colonization of space


Earth is not the end

My fellow people, my fellow humans, my fellow earthlicans it is time for change

We humans have always sought to discover the new lands and new areas available for us. Columbus found America, Marco Polo found China and Vasco da Gama the passage to India.

Now the whole world is explored, we have nothing more to find, or at least that’s what many believes.

Ney I say to them since they have not looked up into the sky and seen the potentials of the vast eternity.

I say, we go and claim what’s rightfully ours as handed to us by god who gave us our intellect and power.

We have the technology

We have the resources

We most certainly have the will to improve and discover.

So let’s take that leap that’s even bigger than the one Neil Armstrong took and let’s go to explore space.

We are fighting over land as it is now on earth, “buy land, god isn’t making anymore of it” is one saying. And it might be true, however the true is that we got more land than we can spare. Look at the moon, all empty and waiting to be settled, to be part of the great history of man. We have mars as well that can be our next great planet.

Scientists have also discovered worlds similar to earth and these planets have the same conditions on the matter of atmosphere and oxygen.

If we should encounter sentient life we could learn from them and become and even more prosperous society. And if they aren’t as peaceful as we are and make us choose between fighting and submittance. They can rest assure that every man and women will fight to end to preserve and keep the peace and freedom as we percept it today. 

This could be the thing that unites humanity and makes us stronger as a species and living being in the universe. Earth is not the end!

Final reflection!

After studying the others' contributions & reflections, I want you to reflect on the following in the EngC course plan:
"Students should....
be able to review, describe and analyse their needs in English from long-term study and vocational perspectives"

SO, what are your thoughts on this, in connection with your ICT-skills? By ICT-skills I mean both your ability to search for info, critically examine the information available & react to it, the opportunities to make your voice heard, AND making use of the computer as a writing/presentation tool. How much has the school helped preparing you for this?
Spyken preparing you for the future?
Is it Learning? ;)

The Clown

The Clown

He sits alone in his dressing room, five minutes to go.

He paints his face in red and white, four minutes to go.

He's feared, laughed at, alone, three minutes to go.

He's never felt so gray and low, two minutes to go.

He looks in the mirror, he feels like crying, almost time to go.

He puts on his nose and a see through smile, because now it's time for the show.
