IN MEMORIAM -Isaac Asimov

The rockets arrive with a difference of two hours. They come from the West Moon and the East Moon alternatively. They rest on Earth a couple of days and then they part again exchanging destinations.
People wear special masks to adjust to the lack of oxygen, to avoid spending the scarce breathing air there is up there.
The landing port is constantly busy and eerily white. People come and go under artificial light. There are no windows since the taxes on them made it impossible to operate. Artificial light is way lot cheaper.
People from different ages, sexes, genders, colors, builds, commute through this space to outer space.
They cross the last frontier earthly bound usually to work in the artificial moon.
There is no life beyond. It was proven thousands of years ago.
Still
many people want to believe, as once they did in an unholy and terribly angry God.
But no, there is no life outside this world, this green planet Earth.
Nietzsche was right. There is no God.
There is no Nirvana, or Valhalla, or Paradise, you name it.
Many systems were discovered beyond ours. Many thousands and more of planets. All of them empty. Not even microscopic life.
Nothing.
We are all A L O N E.
