Dear Earth...

Dear Earth,

I haven't seen enough of you. I've lived my life in one little corner of one little corner, barely branching out at all. It's kind of depressing.

Some parts of you are scary, places I will never go, things I don't wish to see. Most of you is beautiful and I feel like I'm missing out. I have no great interest to make my mark on you, but I would like to get to know you a bit better.

And that, dear Earth, is why I'm going to see you, one little piece at a time.

Monty Python Said it Best

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth."
