    Sounds like it might be a good idea to eat a piece of fairy cake after looking at the link...

        nice music? NICE MUSIC??! The video shows our complete insignificance in the universe, our whole planet less than a grain of sand on a really sandy beach, and you say "nice music"? Yeah - it suited the video nicely, I thought, although it was a little too "A Little Moog Music" for me

        Yeah, pretty much. It must suck to be one of you puny humans. :-D At any rate, I was refering to the Bladerunner end credit music (by Vangelis) that comes in at 1:39. I don't recognize the music up to that point.

              I was expecting to see "thar be dragons" once they zoomed out past the known universe.

                  Cool video...but this[^] is the music they should have used...

                  Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

                    One thing in that video makes me feel special. "We" (everyone of us) is just a little dot on the surface of the planet, the planet is just a little dot into the solar system, to solar system is just a little star in the galaxy, our galaxy is just a little dot from "the known space". So its so unimaginable how "we" (the first-mentioned miniature little dots) can "know" so much space. Yeah, there is huge amount of space we have to discover, but the progress so far makes me feel proud :)

                        The whole time I was yearning to hear Carl Sagan chime in.
