wow - that just goes to show you how truley small we are as a planet in the grand scheme of things.

How can you really think that we are the ONLY living "people" or whatever in the universe is beyond me. Wow.

Thanks for the link man!

WOAH! Thats just awesome!

And I haven't seen that, but then again, my schools textbooks literally were created between 1940-1960, so we didn't have very many recent things in my school :P

thats totally awesome. what's even cooler is how when you zoom into the electron level, it looks just like the beginning, when we saw space with all the stars. makes you think.
