Mir and the Statue of Liberty
Space Station Mir represents the statue that inspired peace and unity between two extremely powerful nations. During the cold war era, when Russian Cosmonauts invited American Astronauts to Space Station Mir, they gazed downward upon our beautiful planet Earth, and wondered "Why are we fighting?" Mir helped thaw the chilled relations between two heavily armed and dangerous super powers. "Like the lady carrying the shining torch, leading the way to freedom, Mir helped to lead Russia out of the Communist Era, and into the new free world. Mir symbolizes so much more than freedom, Mir signifies Peace, and the sharing of technology amongst mankind." - CLive Imagine how Americans would feel if the Statue of Liberty was destroyed to make room for a new building! |
Space Station Mir, a symbol that commemorates the melting of the Cold War, peace between Russia and America, and the new free world, is about to be destroyed. If plans for the great space station's destruction move forward, the peaceful gesture that Mir symbolizes, will fade into oblivion, lost for future generations...abandoned to "make room" for financing a newer project. Why destroy Mir, when outer space offers plenty of room for both Mir and the new International Space Station to thrive side by side, especially when Mir can now become the center of The Next Internet™.
