I have to admit my trekkyness here and quote a startrek film. Startrek 6, from right at the very end:
Commander Pavel Chekov: Course heading, Captain?
Captain James T. Kirk: Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
The thing I love about it is the freedom, the freedom to explore space and the means to do it. Actually, not sure how to put in words what I like about it
