It's sheer luck if you live at a place where the pollution levels are low leaving the air clean and stars visible with all their brilliance.
In the kid years I used to find the moon walking along with me whether moving on foot or on wheels.Later I wondered how I could have walked straight without stumbling if I kept looking at the moon. Then realized that this memory must be from when I was carried around as a baby.
I have lived for most of my life in a less industrialized town in the hills which made it possible to gaze at the star filled sky and be mesmerized and humbled.....Yes that is the word..by the vastness and unfathomable divine nature of the event.

This feeling was most relived in the masterpiece movie ''Contact' which is about a scientist,Ellie Arroway, who finds evidence in the form of radio message from outer space containing designs of a space craft.
After the space travel she is questioned as apparently she didn't go into space as the spacecraft remained unmoved on earth but Ellie insists..
