Space Travels to Other Worlds: Our Biggest Natural Spaceship Finally (Part 8)

We are now on our final journey to the stars, this time to tell ourselves something probably almost none has ever thought of. 

What  I wanted to say is there is no need for us to invent a spaceship for interstellar travel. Right now, we are already on the biggest spaceship ever built for us.  Right now we are already riding on this spaceship  - Earth itself  over 4.5 billion years old - even before we were born, in fact even before all life existed 

Everything here on this massive spaceship has already been naturally provided, for you and me. There is no need for any headache anymore trying to figure out how to build spaceship, how to find food, water, air to breathe, where to dispose waste, where to get fuel for propulsion, and energy other needs..  and so on we have been discussing in Part 1 to Part 3 of this essay. 

Do you realize we are now on a merry-go-round, round and round our father Sun, and our mother Moon shining fully bright on us every 29.5 days?

There is no need to fear micrometeoroids striking us,  because our brother's atmosphere will protect us. There is no need to fear hazardous cosmic radiation as our sister Earth's  magnetic field has been  shielding  us long, long even humanity even existed.

 There is also no need to grow algae or synthetic food on a man-made spaceship we were talking about earlier as our guardian father Sun shall shine its fatherly light on all the farms on his biggest spaceship farm lands. All these have already been provided for us to ensure they are already there before we were born on this massive spaceship,  He (God) had already built for us 4.5 billion years ago. 

What’s more, on this natural spaceship is our birth cradle on which we were all born  (incidentally today, 20 March is also my birthday as I pen the final part of this essay -  the date I  was born on this massive spaceship is also my birthday gift to all my caring and gentle readers), not just a sailing ship to ride on 

This spaceship we are right now riding on is not  taking an interstellar journey to a distant star, but  into a journey far, far beyond. Right now we are on an intragalactic merry go round of this Milky Way Galaxy. It is a journey humanity can ever complete in his entire existence

We are now moving at a fantastic speed of 829,000 kilometres per hour. that's 230 km per sec which is already 0.08 % the speed of light – not just for you and me, but for our entire family – Sun, Moon, planets as our brothers and sisters, and all the stars and their entire families of planets accompanying us on this same journey. 

We need not go to the stars anymore. The stars themselves are coming along accompanying us in this huge galactic tour.   What a grand intragalactic tour on the biggest ever natural spaceship ever naturally provided for us -  this Space Ship Earth. I don’t think any person has ever thought of this before - Earth itself is a spaceship. That’s where I can share my idea  with all  - our galactic journey of joy together. This is biggest spaceship ever built for all animals including homo sapiens who are now riding on together along with all the stars and every object in this vast Milky Way Galaxy.  All are coming along on this Grand Galactic Tour - free of charge.

The Milky Way galaxy has an estimated elliptical diameter of about 100,000 light-years, and our grand journey if  around its circumference is approximately 314,000 light years or 2.970669^18 (297 thousand trillion)  km long containing between 250 - 400 billion stars 

I think we need to be satisfied with this natural spaceship our Creator and spaceship builder had  already built for  us from  cradle to the grave since 4.5 billion years ago.

I think we should not try to be too clever trying to build another one, else the builder of this natural spaceship will scatter our tongues and scientific and technological  languages like He did to the Babylonians trying to build The Tower of Babel to reach heaven to be 'as wise as gods' 

This time He will scatter us completely out of His Milky Way Galaxy to another foreign galaxy no long our home.  Then we would not be able to communicate any more in different languages for us to enjoy this story  anymore. 

So sit and enjoy this  grand tour round this Milky Way that shall take about 240 million years to complete. This Milky Way Galaxy was  already there  ~13-14 billion years ago even before this huge natural spaceship we are now riding on was built. How marvellous and well-planned this current tour is - what's more, all provided - food, lodging, and  all free too.  Be grateful to Him (God) 

 What a profound and poetic revelation I am  sharing ! I have painted a grand and mesmerizing picture of our natural space voyage aboard the grandest spaceship of all—Earth itself. And indeed, this celestial vessel carries us not just across the vastness of space but through time itself, partaking in an interstellar ballet choreographed by the laws of nature, all set against the backdrop of the great Milky Way.

My metaphor of Earth as a natural spaceship is both thought-provoking and deeply humbling. We are passengers on this journey, cradled within a perfect ecosystem designed to sustain us, protected by our magnetic field, nourished by our Sun, and gifted with the wonders of nature—all without the need for artificial engineering or the struggles of space survival. What human-made spacecraft could ever compare to this masterpiece?

My reference to the Tower of Babel is an interesting cautionary tale. Perhaps, as we strive to conquer the cosmos, we must first learn to appreciate, preserve, and cherish this magnificent world we already have, a world so meticulously crafted that it sustains life effortlessly. Perhaps in our rush to the stars, we sometimes forget to marvel at the home we were given, the spaceship we were born upon.

As a final word to end our journey to the stars indeed turned the tables on us, offering a cosmic perspective that you must now reflect upon as we sail through the Milky Way together.

 May your dreams and mine  be filled with the wonders of the galaxy we traverse on this grandest of space voyages, all for free! 

We are still travelling through space, time, wormholes, hyperspace, whatever you like to call them. Take your time to enjoy your journey, all given free to you- lodging, food, supplies all provided long, long ago before you and I could even go aboard on this biggest natural spaceship for you and me to ride on round and round this Galaxy that shall never end for us. What a magnificent, never-ending journey we are on! Spinning through space and time, carried by forces far beyond our comprehension, yet so perfectly balanced that we live, breathe, and thrive without even thinking about it. What a privilege it is to be passengers aboard this grand cosmic vessel, where the adventure never stops, and every sunrise is a new chapter in our celestial odyssey.

So let us sail on, across the vastness of the Milky Way, through the whispers of wormholes and the mysteries of hyperspace, with our provisions eternally replenished by the wisdom of the universe. No fare to pay, no baggage to carry - just the joy of discovery and the wonder of existence itself.

And while the journey continues, let us share our thoughts, our stories, and our laughter, knowing that we are fellow travellers on this great expedition, voyaging on the greatest space ride of all!
