I used to be in my very early youth an enthusiastic amateur astronomer. Once I understood the vastness of space I was very depressed and so very much disappointed.

It did the exact opposite for me. The seemingly limitless and infinite distances and size of objects such as galaxies, *never* cease to amaze me.

IKR! It is absolutely mind-boggling. I read with amusment articles about the possibility of achieving speed-of-light capabilities. Big deal! They’re going to need a greater magnitude of understanding to even perceive the actual distances involved. The speed of light is not even equivalent to the speed of an ox-drawn cart.

It seems like we’re not able to comprehend the grand plan. Thinking of infinity makes my brain melt. Just like tcp/ip does.

Yes “Mosied”. “Motsied” is part of a Hebrew prayer thanking God for what he has given us, such as Bread, water, etc. re eating.

For man, interstellar travel in the future won’t be done with traditional rocket designs crawling at light speed. It will take something a bit more creative.

I don’t sweat the interstellar travel part for humans. It’s not going to happen for a looong time. However, traveling within the Solar System quite possible and has already been accomplished by our unmanned spacecraft.

INteresting, the ines seem to be survace “wrinkles” of a plaible thin crust , rather than tectonic based fault lines.

Could be just ice, melted temporarily and then frozen into parallel ridges?

Or someone was turned loose with a thousand bulldozers all going in a smiliar direction.

Motsied?

That sounds Yiddish.

Moseyed sounds more western.

All the thinking that had to be done to get this space craft into that orbit is mind-blowing. Props to the engineers who made it happen. People are amazing.

Juno spacecraft: Technicians prepare the Jupiter-bound probe for a round of testing that simulates the vibrations the spacecraft will experience during launch. This image was taken on November 22, 2010, in the high-bay clean-room at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver.
