Brilliant. Best time to do it with the warm nights.

We have a beautiful planet and a great location in the universe. I've been watching a National Geographic programme 'One Strange Rock'. It has been brilliant. Narrated by Will Smith but the majority of the explanations about our planet are provided by 8 astronauts who were on one or more of either the MIR station, one of the Shuttles or the International Space Station. They have very different experiences and it is fascinating. Chris Hadfield is one of them, the one who recorded Space Oddity on the International Space Station.

Catch them if you can.

But isn't the earth flat ? Few weeks ago I heard some guy from the Flat Earth Society saying it's a conspiracy that the world is a sphere ? ..he said..no such thing as gravity..it's just the weight of everything that keeps us down, windows on planes are round to make us think that the earth is too, after he finished..I couldn't but think it's a wind up ?

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour.
