I want to go to another planet
-
But so are billionaires.

Easy fix
If it were easy everyone would do it.

Also JD from Scrubs every time he finally gets the girl he was dreaming of
Very specific, and not completely correct.

I would also say "oh no" when I get to the moon and only then realize it's not a planet.
That's not a moon...that's a space station

To quote Tim Minchin:
Isn't this enough?
Just this world?
Just this
Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of
Cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
If you're so into your Shakespeare
Lend me your ear
"To gild refined gold
To paint the lily
To throw perfume on the violet
Is just fucking silly"
Or something like that
Or what about Satchmo?!
"I see trees of Green
Red roses too"
And fine, if you wish to glorify Krishna and Vishnu in a post-colonial, condescending bottled-up and labeled kind of way then whatever, that's ok
But here's what gives me a hard-on
I am a tiny
Insignificant, ignorant bit of carbon
I have one life
And it is short and unimportant
But thanks to recent scientific advances
I get to live twice as long as my great great great great uncleses and auntses
Twice as long
To live this life of mine
Twice as long to love this wife of mine
Twice as many years of friends and wine
Of sharing curries and getting shitty at good-looking hippies with fairies on their spines and butterflies on their tittiesI know it's about superstition, new-age nonsense and "spirituality", not other planets. But it's just so on point to me for everything where we fail to appreciate this wonderful world around us.
Oh, how I wish Tim would make another album like Apart Together.

That's so funny

Planet you land on is 200 degrees above or before freezing and has no atmosphere.

The hardest part is catching them. The rest is easy!

Don't worry. Soon the Earth will look like Mars, so we don't have to bother going there to experience it.

We're going for the Venus speedrun

So, back in 2021, William Shatner accepted an offer from Bezos to be flown into space for a few minutes. He played Captain Kirk in Star Trek for a gazillion years, so actually going to space was a life-long dream for him.
Despite that, his experience was very much like the comic, just more ...profound:[...] when I looked in the opposite direction, into space, there was no mystery, no majestic awe to behold . . . all I saw was death.
I saw a cold, dark, black emptiness. It was unlike any blackness you can see or feel on Earth. It was deep, enveloping, all-encompassing. I turned back toward the light of home. I could see the curvature of Earth, the beige of the desert, the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky. It was life. Nurturing, sustaining, life. Mother Earth. Gaia. And I was leaving her. [...]
It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness. [...] My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral.

Also, if you want to see some real cringe, there's videos of Shatner talking to Bezos after the landing, where he's articulating these same deep thoughts. And when Bezos realizes that Shatner didn't like space very much, he has to shut him up, of course, so he calls for his emotional support sluts to pass a champagne bottle for him to ejaculate over them.
It's such a bizarre disconnect from this 90-year-old man completely shook to his core, where you really want to listen to what he has to say, to Bezos interrupting him mid-sentence to just go do something else.
