    infinite space would bore me after like five minutes

    just don't have that sense of awe, really

    just oh you're big and empty

    good for you

    you're like a fat person without a soul

    take that outer space

    yep

    I mean the ocean has a ton of awesome and weird stuff in it

    space is mostly a whole lotta nothing

    no? I mean, it holds the rest of the universe.

    You do realize that the earth, hell even this solar system are an infinitesimally tiny percentage of all the mass in the universe. Space is pretty much the polar opposite of nothing. It's practically everything except the tiny amount of mass that represents Earth.

    I can get worked up over the mass

    not so much over expanses of vacuum

    So..you're defining "space" as just the stuff that's between the mass? Because you do understand when we talk about exploring space, we didn't send me to the space around the moon to study the emptiness, right? You do understand we're talking about exploring all that stuff that's actually out there.

    yes, I am talking about "space" as in the area between celestial bodies, which should be clear from my quoting of TLB's post

    i actually did cry on my way home from work today

    i read the quote about his response to someone telling him his footprints would be on the moon for years and years

    and he said he hoped someone else would get up there soon to clean them up

    whoops now there's some tears in my car, who put these tears here

    Man

    I feel for some of you guys

    I've never cried over someone I didn't personally know

    This is the first time it's ever happened to me over a celebrity.

    I once sobbed for like 15 minutes after I watched a documentary which involved watching a mother/father rush into a Gaza hospital holding their injured children, only learn that all three were already dead. They were playing on a playground when a missile struck it.

    I think those are the only two times I've ever cried over someone I didn't know at all.

    there seems to be a fundamental lack of knowledge about the Earth's size going on here

    the fact that someone could read "2000 km deep" and think "yeah that seems reasonable" is like one step removed from thinking the earth is flat

    I did say I was drunk.

    also, is he going to be given a state funeral or did he want it private?

    I have to say, I think a state funeral would be pretty cool.

    I wonder if his will has anything about being buried on the moon. I know mine does but his would actually be reasonable.

    Going back a couple pages, I'd say if there was a chance I could land on Mars, not only would I go in the face of likely death, I'd probably go if it was guaranteed

    Like, if they said "here's your one way ticket, 3 weeks of air and food, and some booze and poison pills"

    Cause I guarantee you the first person to walk on Mars will have accomplished more in their life with one footstep then I'll do in a lifetime of writing code for programs hardly anyone even uses

    I wouldn't go to Mars or the moon. I'd rather have a useful scientist go and actually accomplish something for the next guy. I would be totally useless in space.
