[Renesis]

wow, suddenly i feel very insignificant.

to be honest, when it was zooming in on those trees i was kind of expecting it, once it past the canopy level, to show like a squirrel popping a squat. But it didnt, so i guess thats cool too

And then people say that aliens don't exist. After seeing the animation I can clearly see how insignificant we all are. I mean who knows how many other civilisations like us are out there? heck we've only sent a satelite to jupiter (Viking) and we think thats pretty damn far away when in fact we haven't left the milkyway yet.

The Galaxy Song

Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough.
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff!

Just - re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
and revolving at 900 miles an hour,
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
the sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars,
it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side,
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick,
but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide.
We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point,
we go round every 200 million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
in all of the directions it can whizz,
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know,
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
how amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

-Monty Python (from The Meaning of Life)

We look like a little tinny bug in the world

They are spying on us the conspiracy theory lives on

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Just makes you realise that there's a whole universe to be explored... so when we get bored of Earth we can just move house! Yeah.... . Now we got to make spaceships that go 10 light years per minute.... let's commision the people who make Audis, Ferraris and oil tanker engines! And NASA... maybe.... don't like them very much...

[SlickHolden]

I just want to go to the planet of babes that all look like delta goodrem
