re: Do you ever look out the window and see the moon and think how weird all of this is?

How can you explain the glory of a sunrise to those who have only ever known shadows?
It is unfathomable, until you fathom it.
And now? I'm just thankful I'm lucky enough to know.

Even weirder? The sun and moon, from our position, are almost exactly the same size, despite the sun being big enough to fit like 80 jupiters or something across its diameter?

Think about this. Earth could get wiped out in an instant by an extremely intense solar flare. We would have mere minutes, if that much, to react to it. Then we would all be toast.

I am a fan of stargazing. It's mind boggling that the the stars are huge burning masses trillions and trillions of miles away.
Another way to think of it: when you look at the stars, you are looking backwards in time.
If a star is 100 lightyears away, then you are seeing light that emanated from the star 100 years ago. Every lightyear of distance equals another year further into the past.
I don't recommend looking at the Sun, but if you do, you are looking 8 minutes into the past.

There will always be people who dream to see better things and seek those things out.
The real shame is that we have a society that belittles these things and makes people shy away from them (see my sarcastic “gay” comment earlier

I have in the last year or so. Started watching more space/universe material on YouTube, especially James Webb material. We’re just a rock spinning in nothing.

Yes, I was in Young Astronauts because of this movie.

I get it. I've been there.
Been the bitter, angry, damaged fool striking out from my night against any hope or light.
Because if I didn't I'd have to accept the bitter truth of my brokenness.
Easier to get drunk on the sweet poison of hopelessness,
Than to hurt
And do the work.

Amazing how the thing(s) we don’t want to do the most turn out to be the most rewarding, isn’t it?
Hope that’s all in the rear view mirror, my guy

I often think to myself we are only a blip in time not even a nanosecond in this thing called life. The earth is like a billion years old and fricking dinosaurs walked where we are now. My thoughts, Just be happy!!

Water is not created or destroyed and is called the water cycle as it constantly recycles. The water you drink was drunk by dinosaurs at some point.

The Complexity of the Creation demands a Creator.
Don’t fall for Religion.
Seek the Truth and have a real relationship with the Creator.

When the dogs are out at night doing their business.. I look up at the stars and still cannot get over how the light we see from some stars originated while the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Then the stars we cannot see with the naked eye, a neutron star, is so dense that a teaspoon.... a damn teaspoon worth... weighs an estimated 6 billion tons. Give or take.
Also. Based on the theory of relativity and proven by experiments along with the satellite GPS clocks, Astronauts are actually time travelers. They return to earth a smidge younger than they would have been had they remained on earth. They actually travel a tiny bit into the future.
Space is a friggen terrifying place.
