The sky is generally accepted to be the atmosphere of Earth. The Moon is far beyond that.

This feel like a meme posted on facebook by your divorced aunt that lives with her 6 cats.

A common phrase is "the sky's the limit". However the moon is beyond the sky, hence the aforementioned phrase is wrong. There are no limits, bc we keep pushing past them. The sky used to be the limit, but it's not anymore.

This phrase reminds people that whatever arbitrary limits others or even ourselves may try to impose upon us, we don't have to remain bound by them, not forever.

I thought so. A lot of people didn't, and that's okay, bc those who do got something out of it: validation of our struggles to push past what is "real life" (at least what people say it is) to whah is truly the actual real life!:-P

i.e., ignore the h8rs, bc fuck that noise.

But even more generally, we are each more than we seem (ironically, possibly even the haters, they just don't know it yet:-).
