1. Amazing stuff

I think I could have lived without seeing the guy singing in the first video, but the rest is just awesome.

Thanks for posting.

7. I wondered why

the maker of the the clip did that. Maybe it was intended to accentuate just how small and insignificant we are.

9. It's a sarcastic "much better thing to do" than

pondering how big the universe is.

Oddly, I've seen the guy before. He's sort of Internet-famous for lip-synching songs. Even got noticed by some tv show a couple of years ago.

3. Awe inspiring

When I think of waking up and shouldering responsibility for how we live and treat our environment here on this planet I find I have only stirred to an awareness that is so vast my words can not even begin to describe. thanks

5. Who is the Bush appointee who wants to shut down Hubble?

6. previous Administrator Sean O'Keefe made the decision

but there is some hope that it will be reverse by Michael Griffin who is the current NASA administrator. We will find out on Tuesday (10/31).

Griffin will announce a decision on whether to reinstate a Hubble servicing mission during a news conference Tuesday at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. If he approves the flight, another briefing will be held at the Johnson Space Center in Houston to introduce the astronauts who will fly the mission.

11. I remember when the Deep Field images were first announced
