    woman get your ass away from the shower window NOW!

    malaysia had its 1st astronaut went up into orbit recently, dude hitchhiked the russians, it was a big shebang with national telecast, pretty great.

    i hope in my lifetime theyll make commercial flight affordable enough for us cheap ass who dont have a couple'a million to burn, would be nice to see the earth from up thur, up thur.

    Seeing the Earth from that distance makes you think everything's OK, you know?

    Then you snap back to your crappy little life and realize it isn't. But for those few seconds, it's pretty cool to think of yourself as an Earthling.

    Probably be even cooler if I could ever see it myself from that distance.

    Damn that's sexy.

    And you just know, since it's a Japanese satellite, that HD camera is cellphone-sized.

    No wonder aliens and shit always come here. Just by lookin' at 'er I can tell some critters live there.

    Pretty nontheless.


    So funny realizing you live on a giant ball suspended in nothingness. Makes ya wanna see it all, not just on this planet, but in the whole universe. I would love to visit another planet.

    You know, you can talk about the giant red dot or Saturn's rings, but Earth is still the most beautiful planet in the solar system.
