COMMENTS: The words of Carl Sagan -- the man who believed travel to other worlds is possible -- made me think of other difficult stages of exploration: crossing out of Africa, crossing the Atlantic, crossing the northern hemisphere by Lewis and Clark, and crossing the atmosphere into the space age. I was going for a kind of glazed paint effect, like something out of the Les Très Riches Heures or other medieval illuminated manuscripts. I hope we will eventually make it across the oceans of space.
