How many 3 year olds grasp the vastness of Earth, let alone space?

I compare it to the 3 year olds that self identify as transgender


The girl is 17. How many 17 year olds grasp it?

Do YOU grasp it?

Did John Glen grasp it? did Neal Armstrong grasp it?

This is the explorer spirit, something you obviously know nothing about.

Its a heavy thing, leaving behind familiar comforts uncertain of when/if you will ever embrace them again. One would have to embark a journey like this as if they were going to die. All of the explorers in the past had to have no fear of dying/no expectations of earthly reward. Just praying for Providence.

Hell, I get the chills going on an elk hunt thinking about stuff like this. I always say a prayer to my maker beforehand.

This young lady must realize that this is a one-way trip at best.
