Pale blue dot

The world is a big empty place. 3/4 of it supposedly isnt even populated. At least, that's what it looks like from the airplane I am on, destination San Francisco. It started in Amsterdam, went straight up to Scandinavia, over Iceland, then Canada.

The seat next to me is free which of course is very fortunate. While the plane I am on is huge, so huge I was surprised it could fly, each individual on it does not have too much space at his or her disposal.

The service here, as was pointed out to me before, indeed is at a completely different level. There is two meals, water and juice are free and they come around ever so often to bring you snacks or warm towels. Every seat has a little personal screen on which one can chose their own entertainment program, with music, newschannels, games, the newest movies, recent ones and all time classics (think, Mrs. Doubtfire). Even writing emails and texts as well as making phone calls is possible (for a little extra money, of course..).

By the way, a warmer climate wouldnt be too bad for the world by the looks of it, at least, big parts of it would become habitable then. Of course, I know, climate changes are bad etc., but seeing our planet from an 11 km distance doesnt make it look so fragile as scientists propose. It is way more strong than we are, and if we annoy it, it will probably just extinct us. The earth will continue to exist, changed or unchanged. Have a look at volcanoes, then you will know what I mean. Take me with you? ;)
