And then I picked her to be an astronaut on the Polaris Taunt.
And part of it was she was going to bring her violin up to demo the Starlink
transmission, where we basically created this flash mob orchestra around the world to raise money for St.
Jude.
And she is playing this wooden instrument floating in space, and it's really cool.
Anyway, I know it's a long story long, but she was since asked to come and perform at an observatory in California, top of a mountain.
It's this 100 plus year old observatory.
And I was like, I'm definitely coming to see it.
And this observatory where she was playing, which may be the coolest venue next to seeing her play in space, was where Hubble discovered that there is more than just one galaxy in the universe, right?
So not that long ago,
we thought it was just our galaxy and that all these stars were part of it.
And then through his analysis and his research, he determined not only is there more than one, eventually there's trillions of them.
And every one of those has who knows how many stars inside it and who knows how many planets inside it and how many of those are potentially inhabitable regions, right?
We haven't even scratched the surface.
So, like, yes, you're picking on a couple areas that we think we might be starting to know something about, but there is so much that we don't, and that's the appeal.
I think that's all part of what underwrites the Big Bang is the eventual creation of the universe and that everything is moving away from it.
But that's, well, it's like that's where it ends because we don't really know where it began either.
What came before the Big Bang and what created it?
And we have this expansion right now
Is there a contraction again?
