The requisite XKCD: https://xkcd.com/893/ https://xkcd.com/893/
- londons_explore 3y agoSo if I'm reading that right, we're well above the 95th percentile...
- InitialLastName 3y agoThere are only 4 alive who have walked on the moon, so right about at the 95th percentile.
- samstave 3y agoDo these things just come to him in his dreams? Maybe his Fiance who passed is sending him info beyond the grave... Never fails to impress... However, would you think the term "another world" == the Moon? Isnt the Moon intrinsically a part of this world? Another Globe would be more accurate.
- natebc 3y agoFWIW his fiancee was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, they married a few months later and AFAICT is still on a Lane(1) going forward. 1) https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/931:_Lanes https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/931:_Lanes

- cgriswald 3y agoI don’t believe I have seen anyone use “world” to also include the Moon. Do you have an example? Generally moons are not considered part of the same “world” as their planets: “All these worlds are yours except Europa.”
- themadturk 3y agoBut this example itself shows Europa (a moon) to be a singular world among other worlds.
- cgriswald 3y agoThat is the point I was making. I think there is some confusion with my first sentence: > I don’t believe I have seen anyone use “world” (when referring to Earth) to also include the Moon (as part of the same 'world').
