Shoot for the moon! If you miss you will still be amongst the stars.

Shoot for the moon! if you miss you will still be amongst the stars.

I used to think that it represent the idea of one when they aim to do their best , even if they did not make it, they still get something ok from their own action. and there are times when ppl will think that how come when shooting for moon, one will land amongst the stars... (this is especially regarding the gravity and the distance of planet of the moon which are more closer to the earth than a stars). However, this sentence in fact can be true as it mentions and i landed on a star (which the star is bigger and longer distance than the moon) .

Therefore i came to understand that it can actually means that even when you are aiming on a moon and you miss it, you may actually end up getting better things with the fact that there are actually plenty of stars (opportunities) , opportunities that are open to you for trying to aim reaching the moon.

However, do remember not to use fuel that actually can pollute the earth since you are still living on the earth and will be back for a home visits ; )
