What really marvels me is that scientists are able to control spacecrafts that are millions of kilometers away from Earth. Like seriously, how is it possible!?

By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.

paddyflat **User deleted account** (06/03/2012) [-] He's another mind blow, or at least for me, Just think about right now you are awake, think coherent thoughts, living your life an such, and as you do there are about 7 billion other people just like you having similar thoughts, all people living different lives along with you all from a collective source so similar yet so different, so much diversity from the most minute change in genes, and then think how pointless and meaningless we are compared to the universe, just like a single atom in a water molecule in a planet made of water, small, insignificant, things thinking we're the epitome of clever, evolved creatures, slowly killing the planet that supported our very existence, I don't know what any of that was supposed to mean, I just kind of typed a load of shit. make of it what you will.
Tldr: Holy fucking shit we're pointless and small and shit

bossdelainternet (06/03/2012) [-] I don't feel insignificant. We are the universe. We, humans, are made up of the very elements that come from exploded stars. All known elements come from exploded stars that scatter their contents throughout the universe, this includes us.

I thought nothing Man Made has ever left the solar system yet, let alone get so far away from us so that we were nothing but a mere pixel?

What's the meaning of life? Is here a point to any of this. Even if we find that there is a higher power, all it will do is solidify a singular belief. Even if aliens land on our doorstep tomorrow morning, all we will know is that there is more than us out there. What is the point of it all?
