Last week xkcd had a strip paying homage to the Discovery Channel’s current(?) advert. Not having seen the advert, I didn’t really understand it. So, tonight I finally remembered to check out the advert on YouTube, and liked it enough to stick up here; it actually does do a good job of igniting my sense of wonder.

Plus any song that rhymes “arach-a-nids” with “giant squids” gets my vote.

    That was cool! Is it me, or do the two astronauts at the beginning sound like they’re straight out of Red Vs. Blue? I guess it’s just the “helmet-radio” effect..

      Actually, it’s not just you. I hadn’t noticed before, but … it kind of puts a different slant on the whole song really, doesn’t it?
