This is an eye opener. Shows how much we don't know about where the hell we are

It's not humbling.  Yeah, there's lots of really big stuff, but that big stuff can't talk or walk or play vidjya games.  We've got the advantage, if that stuff ever tried to pick a fight.

Anyone of those 'small' asteroids or comets come Terra's way and it's game over.

I remember getting that feeling of scope at 1:10 in this video.  Also during WALL-E, on the return trip to the human's ship.

That is an incredible work of art. For some reason, it screams interactive artsy fartsy exhibit, something with VR googles and a diving board I think. Actually, that would be kinda cool. Jump off the boad at the universe scale, and fall through until you hit the microscopice scale. Maybe make it into a dry pool, so the artsy fartsy types make a poignant example of the futility of scientific resercch.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I spent some time reading the texts. The music became annoying after the second loop.

Otherwise, cool.

I agree, it's not humbling. Once humanity advances to the point where we can easily travel to distant bodies and colonize them, then the borders of mankind will explode outward in every direction.

So just hold your horses, we'll be enslaving the Ewoks soon enough.
