Went to read about it and it’s pretty cool.
Feels like a washing machine (and I’m not saying that cause I’m doing laundry rn >_>)

I am 15,775 Light-years away from the Solar System
and 10,847 Light-years away from Sagittarius A.
Yeah, over half way.
And the view of the space at my current position is nothing but stars

This reminds me of the universe sandbox I’d see sometimes, it’s always fun to see it to imagine what-ifs

What if the reason that aliens dont visit us is because we are all thats left of life in the universe? Theres no aliens to visit us.
UFOs are time travelers.

I prefer the idea of everyone avoiding Earth cause Humans are that weird kid that no one wants to talk to.
Aliens when Earth and Humans are brought up in their group chat:

I thought the reason was because we chose squares instead of hexagons.

I sometimes wonder if Humanity was the loser of some cosmic war, but rather than eliminate us all, the other Races of the universe cast us out far away, where we would never bother anyone else again.

Reminds me of the SciFi AI stories on Youtube. The common premise is the Humanity is completely insane and the other Galactic powers beg the other aliens to NOT bother us. The funniest ones are about Aliens making contact with a Florida swamp resident.

all this space talk…
Today is a rather historic day for space travel.
12 SEP 1962 was JFK’s “Moon Speech” at Houston’s Rice University
Four years later, Gemini 11 launched 12 SEP 1966, and - other than Apollo 8, 10-17 (9 was LEO) - it holds the record as the furthest a human’s been from Earth. Gemini 11’s apogee was something like 800 miles. ISS by comparison is something like 250 miles.
12 SEP 1992 was the launch of STS-47, the 50th mission for the space shuttle. It was Endeavour, the newest one of the fleet.
Interestingly - to me - 1962 and 1992 are ‘closer’ in time than 1992 to 2025.

Less space talk more pets talk?

Between the two, i would 100% prefer more space talk! 
Speaking of dogs…Did you know, that the dwarf planet pluto was at its closest to us around 1989, and that New Horizon’s was launched as a kind of ‘last chance’ effort to get close to pluto before it started orbiting ‘away’ from earth, due to the increased eccentricity of pluto’s orbit. In fact, since it was discovered, it’s not even gone through half it’s orbit yet.

Dyson Spheres aren’t at all possible. First, there’s absolutely no way you’re going to find a Home Depot the size of 1/3rd the Milky Way Galaxy. That’s how much material you’d need in order to make one.
But… even if you magically have the materials, there’s no way to construct a sphere large enough to encompass the sun with a diameter of 2 Astronomical Units. It would have a circumference approximately 5.84x10^8 miles. The gravity of the structure would overcome the durability of any structure and collapse it in on itself.
So let’s magically stock the galactic Home Depot with magic metal. The gravity would destroy anyone living on the inner surface of it… and any structure you built on it… and destroy any plant life… you get the idea.
So let’s change how gravity works too while we’re at it… Now that we have the place built, where are we going to find enough dirt and water for it? Well, I guess we’ll magically make that too.
Oops… everything died. The interior of the sphere just skyrocketed to tens of thousands of degrees and it’s still rising. Do we have any blacksmiths here? What happens to the inside of a forge once you ignite the fuel? There’s no place to vent all of the sun’s energy.
The entire premise of a Dyson sphere is… impossible. It only works in science fiction.
I just want to say, as I head into Friday night…
Make my funk the p-funk, I want to get funked up.
