The upcoming launch of the Webb telescope ushers in wild thoughts of what could be. What if we launched a space telescope every five years, instead of how we spend our energy and capital now?

How much would we learn, how much would our perspectives change, if we sent every sixth grader up to the International Space Station for a field trip? Would it change the world?

The more we learn about the universe, the greater our understanding, the more powerful our sense of wonder. We are a pod of monkeys drifting on a rock in space—when we recognize this, counterintuitively, we can achieve and enjoy so much more.
