    Space is a scary place. It lacks "air", it's freezing cold, there is no gravity, and it's the opposite of anything we experience on Earth. I can imagine (I've had nightmares), having a failure during a mission, looking at the Earth from many thousands of miles away and accepting I'll never get to come back. This kid has some courage.

    I think I'd rather get shot out of a cannon like Hunter S. Thompson, but to each their own. :lol:

    If so, this might interest some of you. I found it pretty cool during the initial kickstarter and now he is ready to get the movie into schools if people find the project of value and want to support.

    Either way it is an interesting take on the state of our "Space Race"

    I used to have this recurring dream as a kid that I had fallen off the earth and was falling through space toward the moon. That's as close as I want to get!

    Thought this was cool -- they showed it on the International Space Station.
    Will update again once it is available for viewing -- apparently there is a chance it might end up on a Television sometime soon.

    i dream of opium fields, hot tea, fantastic viking goddesses, axes, music, mystical types & eating asian cuisine in genghis khan's yurt only after he beat my ass in a wrestling match on horseback. their horses are small so the horse i had crawled up onto my back instead of the other way around. fucker, dude!

    nope never dreamed of giving two shits about going to space... like genghis, im scared of heights
