As you get the go-ahead to set up your rocket at the assigned launch pad life accelerates for the minutes leading up to the launch. What you want the most is for it to successfully challenge the Earth's gravity for a minute or so. This desire to escape the bubble that makes our lives possible and has sustained them so excellently now completelely overwhelms you and an enormous adrenaline rush hits the pit of your stomach. This may be the contemporary human equivalent of what it was like to feel mysteriously compelled to leave the water and explore the shores as a lungfish aeons ago. It is manifest destiny.
