Science Fiction
By Otis
See, we rule up in the air,
Cats in space.
In our feline starships
Eating tuna floating in the air as there's
No gravity.
Cats in space.
Every world that's been discovered
Felines are everywhere.
Into each new world
Conquering as we go.
Tails held high
In a majestic pose.
Onward we go through the night
Now we truly rule all worlds!
High Flight
By John Gillespie Magee Jr
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
Welcome to Cats in Space
We are proud to be a part of FUR and FANG,. Join FUR and FANG today!
In this group we will explore the things we need to know to become Astrocats--Cats in Space.
We'll investigate the knowledge covering general truths, better known as Science. Without Science, cats would still be huddled in cold, dark caves trying to catch and eat birds that are many times our size.
Most cats already know a lot about Science, but probably didn't realize how smart we really are. Here we'll be able to show how much we know.
We'll also explore the realm of Science Fiction and discover how the dreams and imagination of others have become real in our world today.
So, put your thinking caps on kitties, and get ready to "blast off!"
You will receive a Badge of Achievement for each Mission that is completed. And you will be able to advance through the ranks by earning Badges, being a guest lecturer on a branch of Science, or giving a book report or writing a short story about Science Fiction.
