as remote as the rings of Saturn.

 
Sol Kerzner
 

Goin' back to Saturn where the rings all glow,
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow,
On Saturn, people live to be two hundred and five,
Goin' back to Saturn where the people smile,
Don't need cars 'cause we've learned to fly,
On Saturn, just to live to us is our natural high.

 
Stevie Wonder

Advancing a frontier--history has shown--has advanced a culture ever since the industrial revolution got underway.
