There will always be a "step further we'd love to see but won't". Let's be glad we're in that step which included this photo and the inherent magnificence in it.

It totally beats being one of the earlier humans who just wondered what the lights in the sky might be. Probably gods or something.

I dunno, it could be really bad out there. We like to have really romanticized versions of space exploration in our brain. Like finding I habitable planets and other intelligent life. But what if that other intelligent life is super far advanced, and also capitalists. And they figured out how to inject advertisements into brains. And they want to share their technology with us.

Let's hope we figure something out before every other Galaxy moves away from us faster than the speed of light.

Then we would want to see, what's past that.

If they'd be super far advanced, they most likely won't be capitalists 😁
