The people who believed the lies of "launch" were the same ones who told beautiful stories of flying, of lifting off from the ground and soaring into the heavens.  They believed with all their hearts that the earth was the beginning, the center, and that taking off would send them rocketing out into the beyond, to explore the sky.  But there was no such thing as earth, as ground.  There was no center, no sky, and no flying.  There was just the black, the hole.  And they were falling.
