ericmortensen: ekstasis: kingcrow: thedailywhat: xkcd. …And now I feel like an idiot because I’m crying. Reminds me of the Ikea lamp ad, except this one doesn’t scold me for feeling sad. I remember feeling really sad when Phoenix shut down. They’d done such a good job anthropomorphizing that little guy that my heart really broke reading its “farewell transmission from Mars.” “But for now, it’s time for me to hunker down and brave…” I don’t know whether it’s my love of science, robots, or whether I’m just a big damn softie, but that line killed me - just slayed me alive. I feel about the same with the above comic. Maybe it’s me examining the universe from the perspective of so much distance, maybe it’s a fear of ever feeling so lost and quite literally alone, and maybe I just have a romanticized outlook on exploration. Whatever it is, I want to hug that robot and tell it that everything will be alright.

Reminds me of the Ikea lamp ad, except this one doesn’t scold me for feeling sad.

“But for now, it’s time for me to hunker down and brave…”
