And to think that some people thought it was a bad idea to let David Lynch run NASA!

Wow.

Needs a "monolith" tag.

So apparently the strange dark mass holding me down when I wake up in the middle of the night, unable to move or scream, is Saturn.

Good to know!

I've watched this probably too many times in the last week or so. It feels like I'm watching an old-timey film from the future. It also made me think about how many space related videos I've seen that were simulations, and how this jittery black and white video-from-photos blows all of that out of the water. I still get a little verklempt watching this even now.

Saturn is the best planet.
