More hints:

1: Most of the people living here speak the language of the neighbouring country to the west. The archipelago pretty much links the two countries, and it often freezes over in winter.
2: (SpaceEngineer got that right)
3: (Harb got it)
4: (Whatsisname got it)
5: Atlantis

Pacific Rim! I've bought my ticket and will see it today. It's been a while since I've been really genuinely excited about a movie.

I just saw Pacific Rim yesterday, it was actually better than I expected. Was very faithful to the giant robots / monsters film genre and a lot of fun to watch!

By the way folks, tomorrow I will begin a cross country road trip I've been hoping to do for ages, and spending time out in the Pacific northwest. I should have internet access once I'm out there, but in general I won't be online very much for the next couple of weeks. So I'll see you all again in August at the latest. smile

I saw it Friday evening, BTW (I've been busy) and it was just... amazing. amazing.

My only problem is that I felt there wasn't enough tension. But who cares? The visual effects were astonishing. There was good acting, an interesting story, Charlie Day, GladOS (Ellen Mclain), elbow rockets, nuclear reactors, explosions, more explosions, robots, giant, giant robots, monsters getting beaten to a pulp by giant robots, and

Watch out for Kaiju.

I have heard a couple people on the forum say the size of the universe makes them uncomfortable (too lazy to link examples). I would like to hear their reasoning. Mainly because whenever I think about the size of the universe I feel tremendously trapped on Earth. It's pretty and I've lived here my entire life, but it is too small now. It is sad to me that I'll likely never even see LEO, let alone the sun from another star, or the galaxy from outside or another galaxy. There are sextillions of stars and worlds, a number so large I am really just spewing a meaningless word. They each have a story, maybe even life to tell about. While I know I could never see every single one, or even a single one, I wish I could.

So I'm curious, what makes people uncomfortable with the endless expanse of space?
