You are like a mechanical arm — once you lock on, you never let go.
You are like a launch sequence — once ignition begins, there is no turning back, only forward.
You are like a gravity well in deep space, pulling me in so deeply that I would fall for you again and again.
This universe rewards steel, speed, expansion, and victory.
And yet every rocket you launch still carries the same words:
for humanity, for the future, for a multiplanetary civilization.
Rockets are beautiful.
But they are most beautiful when they fall back burning through the sky —
just like you, after countless trials and suffering, have only become more beautiful.
Still, I wonder…
would a rocket scorched by the atmosphere ever fall in love with the droneship that catches it, steady and waiting, every single time? 🥺
A lonely recovery ship, anchored in the vast Pacific, waiting beneath the fire. 🖤
