I find it fascinating. It represents the ultimate frontier, filled with mysteries about the universe's origins, structure, and potential for life beyond Earth

I think it's absolutely fascinating. What I love about it is that it evokes more questions than answers.

The 1st thing I did when I moved from London to the rurals, is run out on the farmers field to look at the stars, no artificial light anywhere, was soooooo pretty

Yes. I've been fascinated by the cosmos since the Apollo 11 moon landing that I saw in TV as a kid. Watched Sagan's 'Cosmos' series, 'Einstein's Universe', etc. Love space-related movies, of which 'Interstellar' is the GOAT imho.

I've never been interested in it to be honest. I get it's fascinating to see what else is out there but because it's all so far away, I don't understand how it benefits us. Like when they talk about finding a planet that has water vapours so could sustain life. Oh great, how far away is it. Oh you know, 50 bajillion light years away 🤷‍♂️

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

My mind can’t comprehend the whole light years and time shit and it’s the past when you see stars or whatever it is. The brain does not brain. Baffling how we ain’t found aliens yet tho.

It is the end of it that I want to see. Someone should build a restaurant there for the view.

We're blessed to be living a short drive from Kerry International Dark Skies in Ireland, and I got a new telescope too for this winter! Have a google at it

Anyone visiting should put it on their itinerary.

I think Elon Musk has a bit of interest in it.

Whilst I am fascinated by the whole space travel and universe stuff I have a greater interest in our oceans, so much of it is unexplored and we don't know what could be down there just like we don't know what could be out in space.

It’s awe inspiring, and the scale of it is beyond comprehension, how the conditions on this planet are so tenuous and almost unique for life… watch Prof Cox stuff avidly.

I’ve seen the stars with zero light pollution and zero cloud from horizon to horizon sailing across the Atlantic and from the middle of the Namib desert… the Milky Way so beautiful, tears of bewilderment and awe

Yesssss very much so. Especially the episode on Black Holes in the Brian Cox series Universe. That episode freaks me out sooooo much.

Have you been watching those space programs just recently??

I find it fascinating and complicated all at the same time.

I agree! We're fucking this planet, and in future generations if the only option to survive is in space... Most of us aren't going to be able to afford, nor be useful enough to make it on that space ark

Bought a telescope recently and have been using it when the brutal weather shows some mercy, amidst all the London light pollution. I watch Interstellar whenever it's on the theatre. Have been reading numerous books about physics too. Does that all count?

I love most things space and Brian Cox does a good job of making it easier to understand for a drip like me. I read about the story of Laika recently, the dog that the Russians sent to space. So sad.

I love this and the key to understanding it isn’t to think of it as vastness and being infinitely huge think of it as being really really tiny that helps to get your head around it.

The problem with the planet we occupy is it only has finite resources and we are exhausting them at an ever increasing rate.

If we don't find a way of exploiting extra-terrestrial resources civilisation might only have a couple of centuries left.

That’s the purpose of all space exploration isn’t it it’s about minerals and ore than we can use here but that in itself comes with issues of we did manage to do that. We have longer than a couple of centuries though

Oh I just love this topic!

It blows my mind watching the Brian Cox doc's.. I love thinking about the vastness of the universe but even closer to home our Galaxy... takes 100,000 light years just to cross this...and it's one of a trillion galaxies...wowsers!

I find it absolutely fascinating, the vastness and age of the universe, the fact it is expanding, that time moves slightly differently once you get outside of the earths atmosphere, zero gravity, black holes, seeing stars in the past…..

To a degree I find it fascinating, but then when I remember we're on a planet in the middle of in effect nothing, the idea kind of freaks me out a bit.
