As the initial inhabitants of space are MOST likely to be from extremely wealthy nations (or be extremely wealthy individuals) who HAVE sent people to space: the Soviet Union in April (now Russia), and the US in May of 1961; and China in October of 2003; only ONE has landed Human Beings on another world, that being the US in July of 1969.
The nations sending their people into space aboard launch systems built by one of the previous three pioneering countries (as well as developing the foundations of their own space programs); you’d think a number of holidays would spring up!
Together, we might celebrate a holiday that we already have!
What kind of traditions will form around THIS holiday? Hmmm…next week, I’ll come up with a few!
Later!
