When I first went to Abu Dhabi in 2006 for an assignment in multinational company it was evident to my household that I wont be returning home for the next six months. Watching my weird face on the web camera my mother wondered if it was me. Going away(seven seas! Although if could be just one!!) and staying in a foreign country far off was and still is regarded out of the world. Separation and longing bring remorse and melancholy. Later you overcome the feelings gradually and become ready to greet in exuberance.
Man is dreaming to make settlements on the moon and mars and take intergalactic voyages into deep space and exploit the possibility of shifting one day permanently to another planet when the resources on earth would either be exhausted or the globe faces extinction in the future of time. It would be difficult to assess a mindset over a long period of time but we can understand and apply logic to the immediate possible future. We are thinking of how life be emotionally and practically applied to ways of living as new life emerges with technological developments and we move towards more robotised lifestyles.
We have seen pictures of how the earth looks from the ISS or from the moon but as you eventually go into deep space the physical aspects wane and you remain only radio connected. Oppose this with leaving in a foreign country on earth where you will breathe the same air and see humans of different colour culture and race and yet are rooted to the soil below even if it is black cotton soil in India or the vast sands of a desert in Abu Dhabi or firm terra firma of New York city. You still belong.
Once you leave the confines of this earth there could be a disconnect? One day hordes and hordes of people will travel in flying saucer like objects and it would be an everyday event but there needs a lot of water to flow beneath the bridge. You may then send Christmas greetings from a planet called Xayez.
