Hello, and thank you for stopping by. This is my first blog entry. If you manage to tolerate my racing mind and it's Ideas I invite you to take a seat and relax.
Space,
Its huge isn't it...I mean think about it.
Serious, don't read further until you thought about how small we as a collective a people actually are.
Now, if you have ever had an extensive conversation with me you know that next to my earthly enjoyments ( Art, Photoshop, music, video games, and in a more broad spectrum Technology) you know that my favorite thing in the UNIVERSE is the Universe itself, and all the things inside that us a human body could never visit in our lifetime.
I like to tell people the story of the Voyager Program . The voyager program was executed back in 1977 an completed its primary mission to study Jupiter and Saturn in 1989. After completion of the mission NASA continued a secondary mission of visiting the rest of the planets. in 1990 Voyager 1 surpassed the slower probes Pioneer 10 and 11 and became (to this day) the most distant earthling made object in space. Which in the upcoming years will be the only object made by man to be in Interstellar Space.
in 2012 Voyager 1 was 17.9 Billion km from the earth.
A light year is how far light travels in 1 year
Light in a vacuum travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.
A light year is 9.4605284 x 10^12 kilometers
The closest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2421 light years from our own Sun.
It is sad to say that in my lifetime I would not be able to visit this UNREAL place. however i envy the individual that does.
fun fact. Voyager 1 is carrying a golden disc which includes many greetings in several different languages and also a playlist of international treasure music. one of which is considered the loneliest song written by a man the song doesn't have emotion yet it screams humanity, and how lonely we are as a people. named Blind willie Jonson, song titled Dark was the night. And if humanity ended tomorrow...it would be floating in space looking to be found.
