Seriously though, space both terrifies and delights me. It's frightening because everything that scares you here on earth exists out there turned up to 11 and about fifty bazillion times as large, and delightful almost *because* it's so incomprehensibly large and quite beautiful.

I used to have a recurring dream where I would be stranded in the void of space, just floating endlessly nowhere with no idea even what direction the Milky Way (and home) was. I would wake up with a mild anxiety attack...

Well, you wouldn't be lost forever! How would you even end up there? If you were in a Resurrection body in the far future, you could just pray for some help!

There are girls who slap you after rebuffing your clumsy advances who are fifty bazillion times as large, and delightful than they are here?

The mind...

God liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Looks like *some* planets are trying to overcompensate for something...

I read about this earlier today. It was interesting trying to imagine what the night sky would look like if it was in our solar system.
