My brother! I sing for you, for your song shall be heard.

I sing for the billions of years you have sung, and sing for billions more.

May you sing for all the stars and planets who bow to you, and sing for all the light and dark that fear you. Sing, and may the universe be better because of it.

I relate to him on a spiritual level.

I'm going to send the question back at you now. What is your favorite thing about space?

Like you said, I really really like all the variety and vastness of space. I’m mostly in awe at the immense scale the universe works at, from galaxies to superclusters to filaments. It really makes everything going on down on planet Earth so insignificant (but like in a good way? If that makes sense? I’m not trying to be nihilistic, it just puts things in perspective). As you may be able to tell from my name, I’m also fascinated by the idea of space itself. Like, everyone thinks it's just an empty void between star systems, but there’s just so much going on we can’t see! Dark matter, dark energy, fluctuations in the spacetime continuum, and so much we haven’t even imagined yet!

It’s just so easy to get, well, lost in...

RCW 114, Dragon’s Heart

How can I feel so free

Yet stay locked and afraid, hidden from the world

Beautiful. Absolutely stunning.

I agree! Considering solar radiation, hiding inside of lava tubes is probably the best place to put colonies/bases.

A new study says that lava caves on Mars and the Moon are much more voluminous than here on Earth. Could they be used for underground habita

underground planetary bases would be really cool!
