Travel Through Space Janet Kuypers edited 07/14/11 based on 2004 prose written for her show “Questions in a World Without Answers” I love of travel, and I love astronomy I’ve got a star named after me, my name was on a CD on the Deep Impact Spacecraft that collided with Comet Tempel in 2005 I love outer space so much, but I don’t think I’ll actually go into outer space And then it occurred to me: I have consider this: all radio signals are shot out into space, they continue past our earth I’ve been on WEFT, WZRD, WLUW, WSUM, WLS, even Q101 I wonder how far my voice has traveled into outer space by now and consider this: all television programs are shot into outer space, too these signals get to the people on earth, but these signals continue to travel towards the ends of the universe I’ve been on CBS news I’ve had poetry videos on television stations in Nashville and Chicago I’ve even danced on CAN-TV I wonder what other stars have seen my poetry by now I wonder if anything out there can decode our signals and understand what we’re trying to tell them
