If God does not ... ( 1 year ago by abcaines)

If God does not exist, why are you getting so bent out of shape at a myth? You just make yourself look like a fool. (Psalm 14:1)

Why did they only show 1/2 of mercury? The left is a mirror image of the right.

Actually I did that ... ( 1 year ago by airdriver)

Actually I did that with photoshop because this image of Mercury did not show the whole face and I could't find a full on imagge of the planet.

One reason for that ... ( 1 year ago by yovinedelcielo)

One reason for that may be that only 40% of Mercury's surface has been photographed. There's been one mission to Mercury and it had an unfortunate orbital resonance which allowed it to only see one face. That's why MESSENGER is so important.

yet awesome video.

Yes, nice video ... ( 1 year ago by insentientt)

Yes, nice video airdriver. But you should have kept it on subject. Would have been better without the quotes at the end & start. I think schofield85's comment was insensitive, but you are being just as insensitive by relating the Earths solar system to any particular religion. Shame on you both. But 3/5 for the rest of the vid.

Believe me, my ... ( 1 year ago by airdriver)

Believe me, my inclusion of the quotes from Genesis were NOT because of any insensitivity on my part. The last thing I want to do with the Grand Tour Trilogy was offend anyone. I merely figured that if Robert Oppenheimer could quote from the Hindu scriptures after witnessing what he had created and the crew of Apollo 8 could quote from Genesis themselves, then I could do the same in my video.

Besides, I think it adds a nice touch.

Aw, I guess that's sweet then.
I have nothing more to say really, except that even with unique beliefs, we all inhabit this solar system equally.

Glad you think so. ... ( 11 months ago by airdriver)

Glad you think so. One question Insentientt, would you have felt better if I quoted from something other than the bible?
