We humans always look for more, heavenward, imagining ourselves as Icarus soaring freely against a magnificent blue sky.
As children we are taught to look up first to our parents, teachers, service men and then our heroes.
Humans look up to receive nutrition, money, encouragement and later jet streams, tall buildings, space stations, and the stars.
