:22::22::22:I'd like to share some really cool documentaries i found on some cool space topics. This has nothing to do with parrots, however if you guys didn't know I love to learn about outer space. It shocks me to know it takes a human childhood (18 years) to travel from the sun to pluto in a space shuttle (Keep in mind these spacecraft travel at a speed of 17,500 mph, a speed of which if it unfortunately crashed through the white house, you wouldn't see it fly through, and by the time you looked up at the hole in the walls/ceiling, it would be over the atlantic ocean!) and that is only our solar system... There are hundreds of billions of stars in a galaxy, each most likely having a solar system...and billions of trillions of galaxies in a universe, and billions of universes in the multiverse (many universes). (the multiverse is not proven or disproved, however evidence points to the existence). Anyway I was recently watching these three documentaries and they are quite amazing. They are around an hour long, and I will post them below. (I do not own these videos, I found them on youtube, all credit to the video owners!)


This one isn't very upbeat, but neutron stars do exist and the nearest one is 250 light years away.

This one is about the very tips of our universe, and distant space as we know it.

And one of my favorites, this is a documentary of extrasolar planets.

Again, I do NOT own these videos, and all credit goes to the owners! Tell me what you think about space. Do you think humans will ever travel planets outside our solar system? What about galaxies? Universes? I think humans Will be able to travel to other planets outside our solar system, however the galaxies would be highly doubtful as it would takes billions of years to reach our nearest galaxy (andromeda galaxy), and earth is only around 4 billion years old. I DO and DO NOT think we could travel to other universes via Black Holes. I know this sounds very science-fiction and nerdy, but black holes are thought to be the "portal" to other universes, however it is an extreme force of gravity and nothing escapes them, not even light! If we got a spacecraft anywhere near one (center of galaxy, we are on the outskirts), it would be crushed into a dust-sized particle never to be seen again!:22::22::22:

Pepsi and sprite, both are American male budgies
Well , man kind has to improve a bit farther to travel to more planets . They need to find a way to have enough fuel for the way going there and back. Even if it was a portal, we would NEVER survive the black hole . It would destroy your cells , stretching you and ripping you apart as you go in . A particularly gruesome way to die . We learned about space in class , I would love to see a nebula , and though I will never see it , a super giant .

Betelgeuse is a supergiant, so you will see one, look up the star to find where it is. Anyway there is antimatter propulsion, nuclear fusion, and other varius methods for fuel. :)
