Today's XKCD-the Universe's size

[Zatnikitelman]

Pretty interesting when you put the universe into perspective.

I love xkcd. Today's comic was really cool. My only complaint was that the Space Shuttle Columbia Lost note seems a little inappropriate.

 

[unussapiens]

I don't see how that's innapropriate at all. Randall (the writer) was just adding it in as a fact that people may be interested in. There was nothing said about the crash, except an approximate altitude.

How is it inappropriate?

I think the previous comic is even better.

There is even a poster-sized version that is going to be available to purchase:

But will the cat land on it's feet?

But will the cat land on it's feet?

Not if it has a slice of buttered toast strapped to its back. ...Or would it?
