Poll: What's your favorite thing about space?

[loc978]

Quoth Rick:
Y'know what I hope's in space? Fire. I hope you go to space, and you catch on fire."
"Happy explosion day, gorgeous."

 

[BrownGaijin]

I think for once I'll join the bandwagon and choose space.

Seriously though, the reason why I love space is because there is a lot of it.

 

[cainx10a]

All the alien races that may want to turn us into cattle. Exciting isn't it?

 

[Naheal]

My desktop's awesome. Why?

[Bobbity]

Huh, this poll might actually be interesting as a way of measuring which buttons people are the most inclined to press.

OT: I love the vastness of it, and the ethereal beauty. It makes me feel utterly insignificant, but in a good way.

 

[Vandy]

My favorite thing about Space?
It's full of ponies!

 

[Snotnarok]

I love that everyone in the US seems to think the space program is a waste of money and wants it cut from the budget basically.

I hate stupid people, the amount of things discovered in and for space research is insane.

 

[ScumbagEddie]

Contrary to popular belief, the Red Spot on Jupiter isn't a storm at all. It's where I go when I get angry.

 

[TheHecatomb]

The Asari, obviously.

Oh yeah.

 

[Alon Shechter]

Daddy, are we in space?

 

[Fusionxl]

I like space. Especially because he's in it.

Ahhhh, stop it.

We get it, you don't like space. Stop subjecting everyone to that disgraceful actor.

D:

WAT. Disgraceful actor? You don't like Nathan Fillion? I think you're the first one I've seen on The Escapist with that viewpoint.

Fillion also rubbed me the wrong way in Firefly. He's such a colossal douche and completely two-dimensional, but the director and story writers clearly went overboard to try to make him some sort of James Blond...in space...

In every episode:
1. Fillion is a dick to everyone and everything around him
2. Fillion suddenly does something nice for character A
3. The entire crew talk for 15 minutes about how "mysterious Mal is, awww"
4. ???
5. PROFIT

I'm sorry, but it's so laughably translucent.

 

[Dr. Paine]

Daddy, are we in space?

Yes. Now we are a family again.

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Nebulae, supernovas and the simple amount of epicness in it.
OT: Flying celestial serpents that eat suns. They're friggin awesome.

 

[T-Bone24]

You are the farthest ever in Space.

Why me, Space?

Because you are the best.

I'm the best at Space?

Yes.

 

[Doclector]

Something tells me that the corrupt "Space" sphere is going to be the new "The cake is a lie!" meme

That and combustible lemons.

And the best thing about space? Swearing in gorram Chinese.

 

[SpAc3man]

The scale of space. The vast infinite size.


This is the Eagle Nebula:

Spoiler

If you look carefully you can see the Pillars of Creation in the middle:

Spoiler

The larger pillar is about 4 light years long. Our Solar System is about 1.25 light years across (0.00125 light years at Pluto's orbit). The Solar System could quite easily sit on the top of the larger pillar.

It is believed that these pillars were destroyed by a supernova 6000 years ago, although we wont see this event for another 1000 years seeing as the pillars are approximately 7000 light years away.

Now what makes you say that?
