Man, that's the first time I've heard/read someone say that in response to a picture of the earth from outer space. Never thought about it like that.
Also, last time I checked, you can't access TD or pornhub from there (yet), so not sure how that's more relevant.

When you really think about this pic, it's fricking mind blowing. There's gotta be life forms of some kind out there wondering the same things as us.

So much wasted space out in space

That's absolutely incredible

Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there—on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

We are almost certainly the most relevant beings in this solar system. The "harsh truth" that we are irrelevant is not based on anything I would bet my salary on.
We might be one of the most advanced lifeforms in the universe or one of the least. Neither one is a "harsh truth" as you like to say.

Sara Palin can still see Russia.

I can see the outrage over the death of Cecil the Lion from this vantage.

So we never landed on the moon but we are taking pictures from Saturn?
Posted on 7/29/15 at 6:26 am to weagle99
Does anyone else find it odd that there are no other stars or planets in this pic?
