This reminds me so much of that old film from my youth that was so very popular and did this perspective of scale treatment. Why can't I remember the name? That makes me a bit sad. Darn it.
Anyway this film is quite beautiful and is very well done, hence I share it with you.
Peace.

40 Years On, It's Time To Go Back.
Forty years ago today, men walked on another celestial body. Let's go back there.
As a child I watched in awe at the proceedings, the spectacle, riveted to the TV. It was marvelous. It was more, it was fantabulous. It caused serious, deep pride and excitement and a desire to learn. And it continued again and again and again until one day... it stopped.
It was perhaps an omen, that halt, as ever since then, the world has accelerated into decline. Maybe if we start up again, the world will turn around. Rose-colored glasses? Sure. But exploration and the continual sating of that ingrained human lust for knowledge can only lead to good things.
Publicly. Properly. With no obfuscation.
There's so much to discover. So much.
So much to... dig up... and learn from.
Not to mention the resources.
We have the tech.
We must abandon the global course of chaos we're on and redirect those war funds and exploitative purposes to activities that will reap rewards for all.
Mr. Obama, do you have the balls?
Come on... let's go.

Musica Joviana - Voyager Records Jupiter's Sweet Electromagnetic Symphony
NASA's Voyager spacraft recorded the electromagnetic clash of particles in the interactions between the solar wind and the planet's magnetosphere. Fortunately for us, there's plenty going on within the range of our hearing. It is wonderfully strange and surprisingly beautiful, interesting that the person who posted it thought it was somewhat scary. I suppose it could be if you let your imagination run away with you... depends on where your head is at, I suppose. Would make a really nice bed for scenes from a 2001: A Space Odyssey-type film, that's for certain. I thought it was rather soothing to listen to on a Sunday morning and was startled back to reality when it ended. Do enjoy it!
