You know what's crazy? This morning I was sitting at my tech support job, watching live images transmitted by a box of melted sand and metal that works by flicking the power on and off really fast, of people on the other side of the planet telling me about this little chunk of melted special rocks that they launched with a giant tube of explosives when I was in third grade, that is just now landing on a giant chunk of rock unimaginably far away, which will then transmit images through a vacuum so that we can see that rock up close, all because one day a pink monkey wondered where it came from.
