It's a great big universe
and we're all really puny.
We're just tiny little specks
about the size of Mickey Rooney

damn, LOL I forgot completely it was from this! well spotted!

4.54 billion years old? Wait, I thought the Earth was 6,000 years old, what gives?

I like the sentiment and the presentation of this, and I really like the music. But my suspension of disbelief was violated really early on with the position of the moon relative to the earth. I've been creating fly-aways like this with a program called Celestia, and they are far cooler than this, although they don't have such awesome music. Also, Celestia doesn't try to go out to the galactic cluster size, the way this video would like to. I'd like to see a remix of this video that gets it closer to right.
