We Live on a Giant Floating Ball of Dirt.

Posted by jtman

Yes, although it’s unbelievable, right now we are floating, in the endless reaches of space, on a giant ball of dirt with some water sprinkled on top of it. It true! Not to mention that the ball of dirt is spinning pretty close to a gazillion miles per hour (+ or – 1 mph). Have you ever dreamed of being an astronaut? Well your dream just came true. But, instead of walking on top of a tiny little space shuttle we are hurtling through the galaxy while walking on the planet earth. Next time you walk out the door, just stand there for a second and enjoy the feeling of space travel.  Who needs a space suit when you’ve got your favorite fleece jacket and those old, grass stained pair of Nikes along for the ride?
