Incredibly beautiful, yet so isolated, so alone. I cannot imagine what it would be like to pass through such emptiness. I spent time on the ocean in the Navy, and staring out into the darkness of the ocean was unsettling at times. Beautiful, yet unsettling. Sure, send me to Saturn, but I'll need lots of DVDs and Final Fantasy games. And lots of coffee.

Maybe so Rod, but, are you going to go on the opposite side from the sun of Saturn and prove that this picture is fake? lol

I feel like Rod - this is a montage (really incredibly nice ...)
Pictures from space are different (thanks Lyle)

I didn't say i thought it was fake, just that it looks more like a cartoon.
No thanks to the space ride by the way. :lol
