- jakelazaroff 8y agoI feel like being interested in space is an exercise in being simultaneously enthralled and disappointed. This sounds awesome! But, like with basically everything space-related, the scale is too immense for a human lifetime: > Of course, it's important to bear in mind that "just about to explode" means something different in cosmic terms versus human terms. It could happen at any time in the... next few hundred thousand years.
