While looking for a domain name for this blog way back in 2005 (geez – has it been that long???) one of the domain names I considered was spaceisbig.com but it was not available at the time. I just so happened to stumble on a quotes site, and was (re-)reading some Douglas Adams quotes and ran across the quote from him:
Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.
so I checked and what do you know, spaceisbig.com was available! So I bought it today! I pout the quote up on the site and was thinking about putting the NASA astronomy picture of the day widget but couldn’t find a good widget to do it. Maybe later. or not.
