Saw this today. You can really see how huge the ship is.

Jesus I think I just shat on myself. That's crazy!

That is a big ship! Cool photo.

I'm not sure if they should be allowed to make ships that big... if it was smaller - more boutique, it might have missed the rock

It actually looks like its photoshopped

I realize it's a sick thought, being as a bunch of people died, but each time I see photos of the ship so close to shore, I think how many free lawn chairs I'd have if I lived near there.

A lot of people think there are only a handful, or maybe a few hundred, of those satellites up there. But actually there are quite a lot of them. At least 13,000 anyway. I wonder what the upper limit is...I mean the total number we could have up there before they start causing problems for each other.

I say put enough up there that we end up building Ringworld.
