Pumped. I don't remember the last time I was this excited for a launch. Been over 9 years since the last time astronauts were launched into space from American soil. Crazy

Even crazier is how small the observable universe is compared to the actual size.

We can see billions of galaxies, but it's a small amount of the actual universe.

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

And he's absolutely right, one thing I love is the Fermi Paradox. It's the most logical(in my opinion) way to view life elsewhere.

Most of our transmissions haven't even left the galaxy left alone reached another so it's no wonder we haven't been reached/communicated.

TFW I should be there supporting rescue if something were to go wrong.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

Well, the fermi paradox is an attempt to explain why we havent made contact with extra terrestrial life. But i get what you are saying. There is life out there. The observable universe is 92 billion light years wide and the odds of life are just too great to NOT have arisen elsewhere. Even intelligent life

I’m Rescue with the USAF so my base actually supports them with the launches. So the PJs HALO to them or we throw rescue bundles to them in the water, but I’m at another base learning it and didn’t get invited.

Will try and remember to tune in today. Years ago, I got really into astrophysics. Wrote a whole record based on stuff I read from Hawking. Just blows your fuking mind to bits. It's impossible for our tiny intellect to comprehend how vast the universe is. If you contemplate it too much you start going slightly mad.

the human mind only understands things we've created


space was never begun , it's always been there

only we started, and only we will end

start and end , two human concepts


just to be clear, this thread is about the launch and space discussion

if you believe it has to do with religion , that's fine, you're entitled

just keep that sh out of this thread please

there is a forum for that , where you can argue all day, like you have nothing else to do
