Hi, Alex—
I confess to being totally stumped by this piece. I cannot figure out who the speaker is.
In S1L4, should “Nasa’s” be “NASA’s?” At first I thought perhaps the reference to rivaling NASA might suggest Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, the oligarchs who are attempting to privatize space travel. The “Maker” in S2L1 suggests God as the N, but that doesn’t work with the rest of the poem, especially the reference to the N’s “leader” in S3L1. I’m clearly missing something here.
