By venturing into unknown territory, discoveries will be made that tickle our imagination and enrich our minds.ï¿½ On the frontier, you can once again see the world through the eyes of a child. I wonder why the sky is up, and why the stars abound? And why the Sun comes up each morn, and why the Earth goes ï¿½round? I wonder what the Sun on Mars, would bring at dusk and dawn? I wonder what two moons would say, from Earth lit sky when Sun is gone I wonder if Mars mountain crags would be a sight to hold? I wonder if Iï¿½d dare to climb, how could I be so bold! I wonder when Manï¿½s mind will grow, and cease to be so small I wonder when weï¿½ll venture forth, I hope before we fall I wonder if weï¿½ll never dare, to reach up through the sky Forever doomed to live on Earth, and this,ï¿½I wonder why?
