I have this set of thoughts in my mind for quite a while now and i think this is the first time I actually decide to write down whatever I thought up of. Don't read it, I don't know what i'm writing this shit for too lol. Come to think of it, I actually like this space travel theme a lot , because no one has truly found how to travel vast distances in space carrying human beings, so it leaves room for imagination.
I have a dream. A dream of starting a progressive metal band, to play and write about the desire of humanity to travel across the cosmos in search of new discoveries and settling down on new planets. A progressive metal band will be ideal to portray the theme being dealt with here, as well as atmospheric black metal elements, for the emotion (to be immersed in the music). Humanity were and are always looking to explore, people travelling to new countries, visiting new cultures. What if one day we have the capability to travel outwards and into the vast expanding space that fills the universe? We can never be able to go on space travelling trips within our lifetimes, but I doesn't stop me from thinking that it might be interesting to make music that immerse the listener and feels like they are on a musical journey.
A song to help with your imagination, in case you didn't know what i'm trying to emphasise here ;)

Genre : Djent/Progressive metal (so don't listen if you're not into such a subgenre)
I imagine the first album to be about talking about the struggles of humanity settling their differences and coming together to fund the space travel program & and the many researches that go on. Politics (Who to send as the first space travellers, from which countries etc.), the lack of resources (perhaps such a project is too expensive even with all of Earth's resources), lack of time (perhaps due to the eventual self destruction of humanity or maybe the technology is just too intricate to develop?... ) or goals to achieve (perhaps maybe expand the knowledge of astronomy/cosmology, or to scout for other civilisations and to proof Fermi Paradox once and for all, or to escape from the eventual dying of the Sun?).
The second album starts out after humanity settled it's differences, with the first humans departing from Earth, to begin their epic voyage into the depths of the cosmos, having the entire humankind unified and watching them, the feeling not unlike when the first man stepped foot on the Moon. Lyrically it deals with the dangers (Will they discover hostile civilisations? Or will the sensors on board their spaceship fail to detect an oncoming meteor?, get sucked in by an uncharted black hole?), the wonders (Will the human space explorers chance upon the magnificence of nebula clouds?), the mystery (Different physics from what we know?) about what lies beyond the little 70% blue/ 30% green ball that humanity is so familiar with.
The third album shows the arrival of the space travellers to their destination, and analysing the environments of the planet to which they will one day call home. The search for extraterrestrial civilisations continues after the planet has been colonised and resources are available to do so, while the biology of the first human settlers change and adapt to the new environment, as history has shown (i.e. fish becoming reptiles, reptiles evolved to have wings, small fish evolved to have spines etc.). When the next human travellers arrive on the newly colonised planet, will they see the first human travellers and settlers still being biologically human? Or will they see something totally alien to them? Will they change in culture, behaviour, language? Or will they live in a ideal enclosed environment thus resulting in no change biologically? (I like to think of the first settlers as biologically different to show the result of evolution from a change of environment)
Plot twist : Planet they decide to settle down is a terrestrial planet, so there's no change in biologics, anticlimax (which could be true,since there are such planets and is easier to settle down on anyway lol)
What technologies (space warp, wormhole etc...) to be developed and to be used,how and if humanity will ever settle their differences, where and how will humanity (maybe by probes instead of a manned expedition?) choose to explore the cosmos, it is all up the listener to imagine. There's just too many variables and outcomes to list here, it's impossible to put it all out, so might as well engage the listener's imagination and form his or her ideal scenario.
Ultimately, all the endeavours of humanity strive to one goal : Interstellar space travel
