way neat!
This guy is extremely talented! When you look at the "city" everything looks totally real. The details on the cars, the trees, the buildings, even the sky! When I first saw it, I just said WOW!

That's amazing, he is so talented! It just looks so real. Good find! 
There is a living museum here in the UK that is frozen in time - you can wander around, but things from the shops, and even go down the mine!

Very neat Becky and life was at a much slower pace way back then. Sometimes wish life would slow down here in our super techno hi-speed world

I stopped driving on the freeways now when I can. Tired of rock chips on my windshield for one thing from the big trucks and fast flying speedsters. Enjoy driving on the smaller roads, seeing the sights instead of nothing but pavement. It's also relaxing to get out and walk each day, well of course unless you run into a kid w/ a gun

You would definitely like "rural" Nebraska then. You can drive around out in the country on our gravel roads and drive as slow as you like and just soak in the scenery for hours without seeing another vehicle or even a house if you are in the right places.
You can't do that near Omaha or Lincoln of course, but there are lots of places to get away here and escape that "city" congestion atmosphere. Lot's of Nebraska people go to the "city" to have fun and socialize at the clubs and the bars or the Opera house, the movie theaters or something akin to that.
Me... I go out into the country and look at trees and streams and rocks and birds and prairie grasses and groundhogs and rattlesnakes and turtles and the blue sky! I've even been through a desert on a horse with no name.
That's one of my most favorite songs. But, my interests go much deeper and broader than just music and you tube videos.
There is just so much to explore here in life and in nature and we really don't understand our own potential or the expanse of the universe, let alone the scope of this small little ball that we call Earth.
We haven't even begun to realize the expanse of the earth's oceans and we are at the same time exploring the outer planets...
Going so far as to discover other solar systems with planets that could possibly be similar to earth and support life.
We must understand ourselves to find life elswhere and with what better starship could we utilize but one that bears the name of a past worldly explorer...
Yes, we need solace in our life and yet, we need to pursue adventures and wrap our minds up in God and humanity to find ourselves. Life holds so many mysteries that we have not yet discovered, questions that we haven't even thought to ask yet. This is the miracle of life, to discover and to pursue the unknown...
Does this not exhilarate or excite you? Does knowledge and the pursuit of it fulfill you with wonder and awe and make you want to dive into that deep blue ocean of passion for it? Is the thought of this adventure not exciting? Yes! Yes it is! It is to all humankind. It is what we were made for!

Going right now to explore my little part of the world now on my walk around the hood. One day hubby and I are leaving here to see the other parts of the earth, explore and dive into it all like we used to do when we were younger
What do you think... Shouldn't we name our next craft for space exploration "Calypso"? Is this not a most fitting name?
Yeah, you are so right Addy...
You have to take time to stop and smell the roses and watch the flowers grow. Hope you enjoy this video!
