State/Craft: What's in it for you?

Everyone wants to get somewhere, and do something. When I was a kid, my wide eyed dream was to jump around with a pogo stick. We didn’t have those around where I was from, but references to their existence were in mainstream media, and that had hooked me. I really wanted to do that pogo stick jump.
Now take it back to pre-history: imagine how it would have been for our cave dwelling ancestors. The first time someone might have tied together a bunch of branches and made a makeshift raft, and happened  to undergo acceleration on some rapids, just imagine that whoosh they would have felt.
My friends, that whoosh has no shelf life expiry date.
Yesterday, Star Trek inspired the Alcubierre warp drive.
Today, we are taking it further with wormhole technology. We are rustling together branches like holonomy, geometric phase and the likes, similar to how our cave dwelling ancestors did with their rafts, and we can travel on further now, along the Rapids of Space-Time!
All that we need to do is retain that sense of exhilaration.
Civilization has turned us more cynical than need be. We have to crank that back down a bit, crank up the imagination, and feel the wonder.

State/Craft: Is the Aegis wherein the wonder always stays rekindled. Come join the trip!
