And worth the wait, spectacular. My brain doesn't really comprehend the sheer scale of what I'm looking at.

It also looks so sci-fi, while being real life actually :)

Yeah the scale of the whole place is insane. One of my favorite things about space is to try to figure out the distances etc.

Stuff like... the moon is so far that you could fit all the planets of the solar system between the earth and the moon.
