I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I'm better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.

I guess because it feels more open but I think being married is way sexier because it's really like your soul partner in a permanent fashion and then you strive for it to be something permanent and that type of commitment and trust if you can achieve it is so good for the soul.

Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.

Why I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure worthy of our trip.
