This should be mandatory viewing to every man, woman and child on the planet. It seems like since the moon landing, the answer for the human race was space. But really, the only way we survive is here, on Earth, cause everything else is REALLY far away.
- chenster 10y agoI like that idea..reminding us how insignificant we really are.
- jeffwass 10y agoThere are some scale models of the solar system in various museums and universities. I saw the one at UC Boulder a decade ago and remember being blown away by the ratio of how small the planets are to their solar distances. To make the model fit within the campus, the planets, especially the non-gas-giants, are surprisingly small. And much further away from the Sun than you'd naively think from the usual solar system drawings in the science books.
