Moonshot

The rocket has been moved to the launchpad. We’re about to go back to the moon. 

This is a literal moonshot.

We also use moonshot as an analogy for some big, audacious, and not-very-likely goal. The kind that inspires, but also causes rolling eyes.

In any case, we don’t reach the moon in a single, giant leap. We get there through a thousand tiny decisions and actions. We try and fail. We break things and start again. We pick a direction, and then change directions. 

We also don’t get there on our own. Moonshots aren’t self-made or the result of a single hero. We need others. Supporters and detractors. Some who work down in the trenches with us, and some who stay outside the fray to contemplate and observe. And we need a stack of knowledge and technology that was created by those who came before us. 

A moonshot is less about distance and more about devotion.

Pick your moon and start the process. Build your community. Start walking. 

Create your moonshot.
