Correspondence from Jack Parsons to Helen Northrup
[EXTRACT]
[1 August 1934]
If the night is clear when you get this letter go out and look at the pole star—the pointer in the handle of the dipper. Let us make that our star. It is the star of abiding—abiding as our love is steadfast—pointing us the path to the skys. Nights may be long and skys cloudy but shining above all the clouds and parting our star remains, whining clear and bright above, undimmed by time or any other of the little things of earth. Let it symbolize our love—"Ad Astra Per Aspera—the stars are our goal and nothing in or outside of the galaxy will keep us from it.
