Some "Spacial" perspective

[poker]

From Neil Degrass Tyson:

Relative to a Schoolroom Globe of Earth....

Planet Mars is a mile away (1.6 kilometers).

The Moon is 30 feet away (10 meters).

The International Space Station orbits 3/8th of an inch (1 centimeter) above the surface.

Branson & Bezos this month ascend the thickness of two dimes (2 millimeters) above the surface.

I'm just sayin'.

As my brother once said to me as I was boarding a plane. " They say it's safer than crossing the street. Although I prefer taking my chances crossing the street. Beats falling six miles out of the sky".
