A mate of mine flies in a Spitfire, lucky bugger!

We are less than grains of sand, much less.

@Splinter....Now that explains what "large" really is!!!!!

That channel is cool, I watch it with my boy. Imagine then, even those large stars are specs on a galactic scale, which in turn is a spec on the cosmic scale.

My brain starts imploding when I try to grasp cosmic scale. But I well understand how small, insignificant and fleeting our own lives are, as depicted symbolically through the centuries by the appearance of a fly in paintings.

This brings the conversation full circle to your Fly post a few days ago, Splinter - -

That fly has now achieved superstardom, albeit ignominiously!
But back to space, yes it really does do your head in when you wonder if there's a wall somewhere at the edge of the cosmos. But then, what's behind that wall? Is there a door? And who would have the key?
What would the door look like, not to mention the key itself?
Would God, or whichever deity you believe in, be behind the wall?

Nothing is behind the wall. Literal nothingness. Of course, you could explore the multiverse theory but even that must have the boundary. Beyond that boundary is nothingness. Ignoring the possibility of a literal or figurative god, of course.
That's based on the latest belief our universe is not infinite. If we assume the old belief that the universe is inifinite, then there is no wall.

Live coverage of grain silo SN8 12.5km
Scrubbed at T -1.3 seconds, that was so close to launch

Without the annoying commentary

Shame it crash landed but at least now we have a new acronym - RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly).

RUD is classic.

I'm not bothered it crashed. It's just a tin basically to test out theories whether I can do so, but I'm sure they'll sort it out before SN9 is tested

This happened to SN9

This is absolutely breathtaking.

I wonder if we'll be any the wiser?

I don’t think they’re UFOs
Its just an excuse to make sure the military exist and the generals get a nice pension pot

That excuse is provided by Russia, China, and North Korea. No need for UFO’s

Not really, there is a Navy fighter pilot claiming a lone bird flying, is so what an UFO, if you were to zoom in you might see flapping wings

29 days until Perseverance lands on Mars! I'm hoping to tune in live like I did with Curiosity.
