We throw people into space...

It wasn't until I saw this video that I realized just how spectacular it is that we throw people into space. I mean, seeing the pyrotechnics up close, which is the usual view for shuttle launces, is pretty special in itself, but seeing this little light being shot into the atmosphere at incredible speeds really puts it into perspective. I mean, there are people in that little light. Not only that, but they usually come back in one piece. It takes a lot to do that.

Sounds from Space!

I am both fascinated and terrified with outer space. Here is what Saturn sounds like. Or rather, electromagnetic waves converted into an audio file. You can hear more of these by checking out the Coilhouse article on the subject.

Space is creepy, and I love it. I also have this sneaking suspicion I'm bound for an existential moment.
