Deep Space is My Home

All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct.
Carl Sagan · Astronomer, astrophysicist, and science communicator
Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still.
Carl Sagan · Astronomer, astrophysicist, and science communicator
I don’t think the human race will survive the next thousand years unless we spread into space.
Stephen Hawking · Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author.
Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.
Stephen Hawking · Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author.

Art-rock saga about roaming in Deep Space, Life, and Music.

Life History of Tomcat, the Founder of Cyber Cat’s Civilization, is a real magnum opus! Darwin's Cat is publishing a new piece of Tomcat's history. It is the Song, written by Tomcat himself, during the "Age of Discovery".

Deep Space is my home
Thirty eight chromosomes
One hundred billion neurons 
Plus in my blood are nano robots
I’m a simple space cat 
My name is Tomcat
I’m half-automatic 
And my life is a magnum opus

Planets in space
Populated by thousands of races
Cat races and Ape races
And even together
Even dolphins have home 
A nice zero gravity home
Cozy and safe orbits home 
Designed forever

Space and darkness ahead, 
Behind the stars is tiny led
New knowledge or dread 
Who can resist deep space calling?
I‘m moving to my goal 
Around a double black hole
Via Dolphin Patrol
To new stars my ship is crawling

This is the only way for me
In the vast galaxy sea
Only way to be free
In this nice Universe
And every my act
It’s my tool, my parallax
To see the Universe in facts 
As cosmical dance...

Start self-checkup 
Optimistic setup
Milky-tea cup
Who’s my contender?
quick brain warm-up
My mind’s clean-up
Never give up
Never surrender

Galaxy light
my life is a fight
Like a striped knight 
knowledge defender
My ship is bright
In perpetual flight
A mote in the night
An everywhere outlander

I’m playing hard rock 
At the third cargo dock
Every day at five o‘clock 
Just because it’s amazing
No one can hear 
Nearest planet’s away in light year
Deep space clean and clear

Deep Space is my home
My life a permanent roam
Billions of stars are my dome
Now and forever
My spaceship’s in the stream 
Exactly like in my dream
Me and my ship, we’re a team 
Roaming together

Deep Space is my home
Deep Space is my home
Deep Space is my home

The journey beats the destination. Sorry — to really feel it, you have to be a cyborg cat.

People spend their whole lives chasing a goal, and when they reach it, they don't feel the joy they expected at the start of the journey. Apparently, to be happy you just have to understand that what matters isn't the goal but the motion. And to understand that, you'd have to be — no more, no less — a cyber-cat and a space wanderer. So tough luck.
