I remember your story. LH...too bad I didn't see it. I'd LOVE to have one of those experiences. With my attitude, I wonder how I'd process it...

Almost every day I click on this link, which often has images of galaxies and other wonders.... and I would BET that somewhere 'out there' there are other sentient beings.
I would also bet, if there was any way to decide the bet, that they are stuck in one spot and wonder if WE are here.

Boy, would I like to lose the bet.
