I said to myself as I was getting ready to write down my thoughts about the most wonderful scientific and civilized event that humanity has experienced many centuries ago, and the drunk went away, and the idea came; I wanted to think, not act; That is why I chose not to write about this hadith as soon as it happened, the whole world was dazzled, and minds were enchanted by the journey in which reality exceeded the limits of imagination, and it was necessary for those who wanted to contemplate matters in their true perspective to wait a little until souls calm down and emotions subside, and return People’s breaths and their hearts’ beats to their normal, regular rhythm, and he himself can gather his thoughts calmly, without excessive emotion that dissipates the energy of the mind.
I do not know if enough time has passed for one to be assured that he is writing without being emotional; It is most likely that what happened will continue to inflame people’s imagination for a long time, but what I can say with confidence is that I tried as much as I could to gather the scattered threads surrounding this great event, and to contemplate it from a broader perspective, without my eyes being fascinated by the glare of the great revelation alone. Around him are the elements of the framework through which this revelation is only understood, and I think that the reader, in turn, has begun to regain the composure that allows him to listen to a quiet conversation about an event after which people did not know calm.
Moon and Earth Politics
During the romantic period immediately following this event, we all affirmed that this was a new victory for all of humanity, and chanted with the first visitor to the moon: It is a small step for one man, but a huge leap for mankind!
It was only natural that this beautiful tone resounded throughout a world fascinated by the miracle that had been achieved, but was this a leap for all of humanity? Do the realities of the world in which we live allow all humanity to share in the fruits of such a scientific victory?
One of the characteristics of romantic thinking in general is that it ignores scientific facts and actual matters, especially if they are ugly. It is certain that the world has gone through, after man’s landing on the moon, a period of romantic ecstasy that he longed for a long time ago, after lightning wires had not been carried to him for years. Long, except for the news of battles, massacres, the race to kill, and the balance of terror between two parties, each of whom stands waiting for the other's every move.
In such a world the voyage to the moon in its early days seemed like splendid news of an unfamiliar kind; Because it is the first non-military or non-political news that occupies the first place in the world’s newspapers and radio stations, and in people’s conversations inside and outside their homes, and because it is the first news in which the attention of the whole world is focused on a topic that transcends the disputes and quarrels of political camps, rather it transcends the problems of the whole earth, and moves our minds to the first Once and in a real and metaphorical way to what transcends our earthly world.
