But then it's just a picture of Bruce Willis.
I envy those who can watch these from cape Canaveral
Space launches always remind me of the final scene of Koyaanisqatsi.

Koyaanisqatsi is one of the first movies I ever saw. I saw it on LaserDisk sometime in late 1988~89. It definitely had an impact on me.
Anytime I watch NASA videos, this crazy sense of how much human technology has advanced in just these last 200 or so years compared to the thousands we've been around rushes through my mind. People are so interesting <3

Truly beautiful what the human race can do, that we have reached out so far. shame we have our squabbles over what seems petty in comparison.
I seriously sugest you check out the feature length documentory "in the shadow of the moon"
