This is easily one of my favourite cartoons. Not just today’s but the whole series. It is deceptively simple, yet it has such an incredible depth of ideas, philosophy and humanity. And so close to the heart as well. Absolutely love it.
Small is relative to how you are comparing it and to what you are comparing it to. The earth would seem small as seen from the moon. However, the earth, as it would appear from the moon, still would be almost 4 times bigger than the moon appears to us here on earth.
As the first of the Voyager spacecraft was leaving the solar system, it turned to take a final photograph of the earth. It was a tiny particle in a vast black sea of space. It inspired Carl Sagan to refer to our planet as “a pale blue dot.” He called on his readers to consider that everyone they ever loved or hated and all their works throughout time were… in universal terms… infinitesimal.

That’s some good cosmic comedy, Ike… but that was a long trip just for a “bit”…

You gotta admit, it may be a small world, but there is a heck of a lot of space!
