=== [[User:Spblat|Spblat]] ===
 
I love the opening musical loop.  Nice and mellow.  I also particularly enjoy when Joe talks about the vastness of the universe and our apparent insignificance in it.  Add his commentary about how frail we truly are, and this is a winner for me.  I [http://www.irace.net/mt/archives/000018.html ranted about this once] on my web site.
