That was great - thanks for posting.

It reminded me a little about the site that gives you an idea about how truly colossal the distances in space are:

I did it, the journey was interesting but when I got the centre of the earth, there's not a lot there, it's a bit boring. Someone should have told Jules Verne, it would have saved him bothering with his fanciful novel.

Bummed there was no mention of Doug McClure.

Otherwise it’s great and the kids like it too.
