We all live on this rock. Floating through space.
Anyone who doesn’t want to spend more time looking out is someone with something in their closet you don’t want to look in.
Ad Astra per Aspera
"To thorns, to stars"?..
well, I think he meant: Per aspera ad astra
just remember that almost all older languages had fewer nouns and verbs, so "thorns" here is referring to difficulty and obstruction
so more meaningfully translated, this old Latin saying is closer to "through great treachery is the path to the stars"
Ok so the Starfleet quote is “Ad Astra per Aspera”. Should it be Per Aspera ad Astra? Asking for Latin grammar lessons
Yes, I know the saying, just was a bit unkind
theythey have the qote mixed up its Ad Astra Per Aspare, To the stars through dificalties... you see it everywhere in Kansas
Why in Kansas? EDIT: Oh, googled it.
State Motto... do not ask me why it is the state motto, because I have absolutly no Idea
Ad Astra Per Aspera
Going for the Starfleet quote, sorry my Latin is lacking
Yes, that's right
