“Yes, yes. Aim for the sun. That way if you miss, at least your arrow will fall far away, and the person it kills will likely be someone you don’t know.”
And I know the sky might be high / But baby it ain’t really that high / And I know that mars might be far / But baby it ain’t really that farLet’s reach for the stars
In truth reaching for the stars is good exercise. Except one might wonder why you’re exercising in the middle of the night, on a space ship that’s about to melt. Or something.
If we did find another planet with life forms similar to our own; and if we went there; and if the indigenous life forms of that planet didn’t want us there and asked us to leave: wouldn’t that make us illegal aliens?

Rat’s lawyer probably told him to include the “hot burning gas” part.

You can get the hot burning gas without reaching for the stars.
Just sayin’.

Between helium depletion and reduced radio-activity we’ll be lucky to get a couple of million more years out of our own star…

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you land among the stars. Where you slowly suffocate and die.

Burning no. Gas no, not exactly, it’s a form of gas called a plasma.
