Imagine seeing them scenes in real life, it's mad when you actually think about the world and how we exist in it and that we as humans have designed something so we can leave earth and look back on it at a distance |

I neeeeeeeeeeeed to go into space before I die. It's something I'd LOVE to do. Really is. Apparantly it's quite a head fuck seeing the earth from such a distance, knowing you're not on it.  No fake pics. Maybe adjusted for better colours or something but none are fake. When was the last time you seen a hurricane from space and took a pic for comparisons?

Not to the moon no, they take you to the edge of the earths atmosphere, virtually but not quite into space. You do get to experience weightlessness though It's only $200,000

What, you mean this? http://www.gozerog.com/index.cfm?fuseac ... ce.welcome That would be awesome, but for me, it has to be space. Love the thought of leaving this world, even if just for a short time

Same as me Danny, can sit and watch or read about it all day I'm sure you have, but you ever seen the video's of size comparisons of the stars, and the lead up to Canis Majoris?? It's mind bogglingly huge....

Agreed, they must be I just find it so mental that there are sooooo many stars out there, and yet people deny there *could* be anything that's similar to our own planet! They're starting the find them now though, they're getting better at detecting planets orbiting stars, and can now spot small planets thanks to the stars gravitational "wobble" caused by the planets. It won't be long I can assure you before something important is found
