Someday

Sometimes it seems that it's only a dream that we will ever leave this world for space. The amount of conflict there seems to be every day, even between families, is astounding. Still, conflict has always been present since the very beginning of our species. It's driven us to escape and create new things and ideas. Despite how vast and diverse humanity is, and all the seemingly un-overcomeable obstacles between us, I believe one day we will be able to put it all behind us.
Maybe I'm just a dreamer but it seems like it's not such an impossibility.

I think most people do as well, at least on an un-conscious level. Even if it's often depicted in movies for a feel good effect, after major catastrophes people discard all the worthless walls between us and help others. Even those who seem to be cruel or uncaring by leaving or saving themselves are usually too scared to think properly in the first place.

There always exists the possibility that we don't survive, there are always plenty of ways according to the news. But the human spirit of survival is very strong. If anything we have ever known will survive it would be us. Not a cockroach.
