neil armstrong has one of my favorite quotes of all time, especially given that it's coming from a dude like him:
when asked about fitness
"I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises."
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.

Well, it's true that the vast majority of space is 'emptiness' or dark matter or whatever you want to call it, but the vast majority of the ocean is just water, too, so
let's just agree they're both pretty amazing things that should be explored more

You know what.
I was sad for a bit.
Then I thought.
He lived to a good old age. And he stepped on the moon's face.
Dude lived the freaking dream man. It's amazing that that guy represented the combined forces of Thousands of people focused on him, Buzz Aldrin and the often forgotten Michael Collins (who only got to stay in lunar orbit, but that's pretty cool still).
He's like christopher columbus or James Cook His name will go on forever. And he handled it with grace and dignity until the very end.
Don't see his death as something sad see his entire life as a map on how to live.

I can get worked up over the mass
not so much over expanses of vacuum

Neal Stephenson and I were not standing in order to make it quite clear who Neil #1 was and would always be.
I spent a couple of days in Neil Armstrong's company. He was as nice, as modest and as wise as anybody could have hoped for. If you ever wondered what my face looks like when I'm going "This is really happening, and I am the luckiest man in the world," it looks a lot like it does in this photo.
His achievements were the stuff of legend, and I am lucky to have known him, if only for a brief time, I am sad that he's gone, proud as a member of the human race that he did what he did for all of us.

what do I do
ask him if it's okay if you get a huge boner during the three breasted hooker scene, then tell him there'll be hell to pay if you stay flaccid the whole movie
that'll nip that shit right in the bud

dark matter/energy are kinda sorta nothing but actually something maybe we're not sure, and combined that's 96% of everything so you're both kinda rightish

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

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.
also, dark matter isn't maybe "nothing", it's just that we can only detect it indirectly by the gravitational effects
that's why it's called dark matter
simply because it doesn't seem to reflect/emit any radiation
but it's definitely matter and it definitely has mass

what are those big dead guy robots called in 40k
because that's what he's getting
how big
dreadnaughts are the ones the size of a tank that house a severely crippled marine
titans are the things the size of skyscrapers that take entire crews to operate
wraithlords are eldar walkers that house the soulstone of a powerful warrior

so it turns out the nice guy thing was a facade and you are actually a horrible bad opinion demon
He's mentioned a lot in 20th Century Boys. Good comic.
So, that's something.
Why I fear the ocean.
False

man dude was my fuckin' hero, and he died today
hate it.
compared to captain kirk everyone is a 90 pound weakling and probably gay

i will say that yes, the feelings are probably pretty comparable

Now let's go jump on mars.
Satans..... hints.....
let's tap-dance and charleston all over the red planet
wait
hang on
I'm getting an idea for a movie
it'll be a cross between John Carter and You Got Served
an epic dance battle between aliens and humans to determine the true king of Mars
all it needs is a title
box office poison
what do I do
This is a picture of Armstrong just after he'd walked on the moon, taken by Buzz Aldrin. Fuck he looks happy.

It's just kinda by the numbers.
The exterior shots look amazing though.

Oh man. You could be right. When he swung around to the back side of the moon he would have literally been the most isolated guy in the world.

Playing Solitare.
Finding out if a spaceman falls in a rocket and no one is there to hear it, is it really a sound?

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