If you have a Netflix account and you want to watch something that makes you feel like an insignificant speck of nothing, go watch Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.

The last episode is especially depressing. In it, he talks about all the different ways everything can end. Black hole sucks us in. Asteroid comes by and blows us up. The sun runs out of fuel. Another galaxy crashes into ours.

While all that stuff won’t happen in my lifetime (probably), it made me think about all the awesome space things that I won’t be able to experience within my lifetime. Traveling to another habitable planet, for one.

It’s mind blowing just how insignificant we are in both size and time.
