Wouldn't it be a sight if we could actually see some of these things as they are pictured?

They are all wonderful but I find the first one to be totally mind-blowing for some reason. Perhaps because its shape confers order over such an obviously enormous area.

Yeah.. looking at those pictures I just feel an urge to get going, actually. I mean, how long are we going to be strapped to this rock of ours, anyways?

It is a great place and all, but I am pretty sure there would be nothing better to do with ones life than to go exploring. And Earth, well, to me it seems that there are hardly any places left here where somebody hasn't left a footmark already.
