Maybe I misinterpreted what Relayer was trying to say,
but it makes sense to me. Who is going to hear your
prayer when heaven (as a child would see it, up there
in the clouds) has become a place "full of astronauts"
(like the "conquered moon")? So heaven isn't there
anymore. And "God is dead", the Lord is on death row.
There's no heaven, there's no God - so who are you
going to pray to, and who is going to hear? (But she
prays anyway.)
