Pluto

Ad astra per aspera
(A rough road leads to the stars)
Inscription at Launch Complex 34 at Kennedy Space centre where all three crew members of the first Apollp spacecraft died in 1967.

Our heroes and our Gods, under scrutiny, have become dwarves.
As if that was something they could ever be.
That we could ever allow.
That’s why we rail against the day’s passing, struggle to get in another word or action, because tomorrow…
Tomorrow we may not know where we stand.
Not recognise ourselves when we stop to look.

Pluto opened in London in May 2008 before transferring to Spain for the Kuiperfest festival, where it was also recorded live for radio broadcast.
