[Bulbashkin]

I love astronomy!!!

[acs1978au]

I don't want to sound like a girlyman, but this moved me to tears. I sincerely hope that this year has a profound impact on many people, and that we all might start to see the bigger picture.

Thumbs up if you thought that this was a movie.

[Flashlight1996]

I clicked this video because in the thumbnail it looked like a massive cannon was attached to earth.

As a hobbist in the field of astronomy we are stranded on this mudball---looking though our telescopes is like a child peering though the window of a candy store but unable to go into the store and taste the candy; it is like a person living on a shore of the ocean but unable to physically able to travel into that ocen and go beneath it. Allow HUMANKIND to PHYSICALLY MOVE INTO THE COSMOS! Sending cute little robots is not exploration we need to Phyiscally mine and live beyond Earth!
