One night I was bored in my apartment and decided to take my telescope out to the sidewalk.
The moon was out, and I thought, why not?
Within a few minutes people started walking over and asking what this thing was.
Hey what is that, Bro?
It's a telescope.
Oohhh!
Do you wanna check out the moon?
Do you want to take a look the moon?
What is it?
It's the moon!
Where am I supposed to look?
You're supposed to look right here.
Oh, in there! [laughs]
That's where it all started. It just sort of went from there.
I'm looking at the moon, hold on real quick. Hold on.
Oh my god...
Oh...
My...
God... [laughter]
[laughs] Oh my god!
Oh my god...
I can't believe it!
Oh! Oh my god.
Oh my god! No way.
No way...
No way, that's the moon?
No way!
Yeah way! [laughs]
No!
Woah, you can see the craters, yeah!
Yeah...
That is so cool!
Oh, god damn!
Get closer! Get closer and closer and closer! It'll get wider!
Wooahhhh!!!!
What?
Whaaat?!
Whaaaaat?
Look at the edge!
I want... to see... more of it!
Yeah, I know! I know!
Holy s***!
I've never seen this before!
I've never seen this s*** before like this, man.
Wowwww!
That is... intense right there, boy. Wooo!
Bro!
That look like that's right down the street, man!
Man, what you got here, man? That looks like that's right down the street.
Yeah, isn't that amazing? It's right...
Is that an actual image of the moon? Is it like a live image?
It's that right there.
[gasps]
To be able to see it up close, and feel like you could almost reach out and touch it,
and that's what makes it real to us.
That is incredible!
I kind of felt like I just landed on the moon. [laughter]
It makes you realize that we are all on a small little planet, and
We all have the same reaction to the universe we live in.
Wowww...
Woah...
Ohhhh!
Wow!
Oh, wow!
Wow!
Yeah, wow...
I think there's something special about that. Something unifying.
It's a great reminder that we should look up more often.
