This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my whole life. I'm just over here worried about small nothings and now I'm filled with an overwhelming feeling that I should be a part of something much larger. Truly inspiring, and a little bitter sweet. :)

When I look to the heavens in awe, thinking about humanity's future and our place in the Universe, I remember that we still have JavaScript and thus very far from space exploration.

Hey JavaScript has been to space!

That's alright, Javascript already has space travel. [1] And quite a few other software languages [2]: Credit to Andrei Kashcha (Github anvaka) [3] previous post on Hacker News for "Software Galaxies" [2]

Also, to @ratedgene if you feel left out, you should be part of something meaningful. Go join the exploration mission for space travel and astronomy. It's a resume submission away. [4]

Having worked at NASA, the work environment, while critical and argumentative much of the time, is still very much sci-fi fans and the dream of galaxies far far away. If European, then ESA. [5] If Asiatic, possibly JAXA [6], China's space agency [7] is usually off limits to posters on HN.

If not those, how about grants and research in related areas. There are many ways to contribute. [8] Checking, there's currently 18 of 3331 solicitations due in the next 30 days. [9]
