Looks like at least one engine failed, but when you have so many…

1 on ascent and didn’t relight.

Looks like where they didn’t have full set of tiles they had burn through. They were missing a lot on the flaps and the skirt of the engine bay where there was that explosion when some of the stainless gave way.

We all know space is big, yeah?

Like our own solar system is pretty big and it has taken about 50 years for Voyager to get to what could be the outside of it. But that is just our system, What about our whole galaxy? At 100,000 light years across, yeajh that is prety big.

But what about other galaxies?

Here is a comparison of the Milky Way vs the biggest known galaxy:

Alcyoneus is 16.3 MILLION light years across.

And this gives me a chance to say: if we are ever visited by aliens from another galaxy, would tease us for being “Milky Waylians”.

On this theme.

Sun (our star) - About 1.3 million Earths can fit inside the sun.

Stephenson 2-18 (the largest known Star) - About 8 million Suns can fit inside Stephenson 2-18.

TON 618 (the largest known Black Hole) - About 10 to the 33th Stephensons 2-18 can fit inside TON 618.

Feel small?

Not really :upside_down_face:

There are more atoms in a glass of water, then there are glasses of water from all the oceans.

We have more atoms in us then all the stars in the universe.

We are in ourselves a universe!

Sounds like lyrics for a Coldplay song.
