Why we fly? Maybe because once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. These words come from our past. Centuries ago, the great Leonardo Da Vinci already knew what we all know today: being among the clouds and hovering in space is something which defines us.

We fly for different reasons. We might fly because it releases our mind from the tyranny of petty things, like Antoine De Saint-Exupéry once wrote. Or even better, our desire to fly might be an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air. That was Wilbur Wright.

It could be many reasons. In John Glen‘s opinion, the vibrant doers of the world, are almost always those who are using, who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon-the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities. It could be anything. Or everything.

Still, we fly. And enjoy the ride. Day by day. Perhaps, at the end, the true answer lies in Shakespeare's venerable words: after all, our souls are in the sky.

IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC

We are a non-profit scientific and educational organizations which operates within the UEE territory. Our interests include geography, archaeology, and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, and the study of ‘Verse culture and history. IMPGEO revolves around exploration. All our job is focused on exploring new territories and, even better, getting to know the area of the ‘Verse we live in. Our fleet’s main goal is to reach the ultimate star and taking the ultimate shot while getting there. To us, destination is not so relevant. It’s the journey which matter the most.

Explorations means many things. To us, it implies a better understanding of what surrounds us. To do so our expeditions are intended to be a moment, for our members, to view the ‘Verse in a different angle. Reporting what we see is our duty, in order to let others experience what we felt first hand.
