The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Sky box is set and waiting... 
We are alive, so the universe must be said to be alive. We are its consciousness as well as our own. We rise out of the cosmos and see its mesh of patterns, and it strikes us as beautiful. And that feeling is the most important thing in all the universe.

Well that was fascinating, especially the after programme discussion. Why with this type of programme the Beeb has decided on this format like Spring(Autumn)watch I have no idea.
Another one tommorrow and on an Wednesday as well. That's 1.5hours on each of the next two nights spoken for!

Watching it right now.
Captain Eugene Cernan sounded a little choked-up after listening to the mini-film on the moon. It obviously brought back some amazing memories for him.

Just watching Pt2 and damn it started at 8pm, only just got home from a meeting in time!
The Cambridge Uni similation of the formation of the galaxy was good. Start with the basic laws of physics, and gas dynamics and some existing data press the "go button" and watch everything form, and without allowing for dark matter galaxies don't form, a very good description on how scientists make computor models as well.

This and Horizon are pretty much worth the licence fee alone.

I loved the part where Dara stirs his hand through the aero-gel and then puts in a bowl of water
