Very engaging post.I do remember reading about the real life story of boys stranded on an island, but thought it happened more recently. Very interesting stuff. Also, Lord of the Flies was truly scary reading for a h.s. kid. And loved the photo of the Mars moon and little Earth as a mere dot next to it.
So, Mike, I guess I’ll stop eating sweet potatoes 🍠 and vegetables…
Many years ago I saw the moon through a very powerful telescope. It’s one one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Similar to the image from your article minus the colours.
Getting a kind of vertigo looking at those jaw-dropping space photos. How teeny we are, from Mars.

Yes I never liked "Lord of the Flies", it is such a demeaning title too- how dare he call children flies! I would like to swat him!!
Long live tiresome optimism! We are what we believe ourselves to be.
We are also impossibly insignificant in the context of the whole galaxy, and beyond. (Cue Buzz Lightyear.)
