A Cry From the Dark

School Fieldtrip: 2007-2008 Looking Future by Andrew Stewart (www.cosmic-art.co.uk)

The year is 2384. Humans have come a long way since the launch of the first satellites in the 1950's. We are exploring deep space, looking to understand the mysteries of the universe. We are looking for answers to questions that have been asked since man first became self aware. Who are we? Are we alone? How did we come to be? Where are we going?
