And I have to spend my limited time on Earth studying for my

[jduddie]

I am genuinely upset that I am not going to live long enough to see the human race cross lightyears quickly and explore other plants and galaxies outside of our own. I love science and the mysteries of space and this makes me want to cry for real.

[Chinix]

Before I even began the video I already question my existence

[darlenecartile]

"Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."

-Arthur C. Clarke

[BoblicaDavis]

But just remember-
you're living, you occupy space, and you have mass.
You know what that means?




You matter.

I learned more from a 3 minute video that what my science teacher has been teaching me all year...

[Synnipoe]

Thousands of years from now and future human's will see it and shake their heads at how little we know...

[AshirwadSarmah]

But if you want an ideal hotel....
Trivago will show you the best options.

[NightcoreLabOfficial]

Did really anybody questioned his/her entire existence? - i didn't😂

[eggroll]

Wow thanks for the existential crisis.

[.vaishnavisolanke]

Anyone is even thinking about how amoeba is feeling right now????😔😔

[koroshiyashinigami]

Damn! Those stars which were bigger than the sun terrified me!

[ykgaming]

We know all of that but still not tommrow's weather report.

[somto]

You forgot to say the moon isn't actually made out of cheese

*_It’s weird because I’m technically in all of the picture_*

[tp]

We're so tiny, we could be insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It's so weird how we are literally living in our own little worlds, with our own little problems that we think are so important-- but none of it matters in the big picture. Everyday we discover new things and the fact that we could maybe go further exploring one day? I find it so mind blowing; maybe one day we'll find a bigger purpose.

[amelia]

How do people not believe in aliens after this??

[gillianfultz]

If you erase your mind of all living things and planets and just think about you and your conscious floating in the middle of no where of darkness you might get chills down your spine. It's the feeling of loneliness and it's hella scary.

[myleesimm]

Bold of you to assume I don’t already question my existence.

[brittany]

Because the universe is this dang big, I'll bet there's some epic intergalactic space war going on right now.
