The sound - or lack thereof - really makes that. I've been to some pretty remote places, but there's always the sound of birds or trees, or some other type of natural sound.

Death Valley is the closest I’ve ever experienced as some where with no sound. Also because of the elevation (or lack of), it just felt different.

on the side of some mountain in the middle of the Yukon was the most desolate for me. 2 hour plane ride north of Wat
I couldn't hear the silence because my heart was still racing from the helicopter landing on a makeshift landing pad made out of railroad ties at a fairly steep incline. Didn't think it was going to fit without clipping the rotors.


scuba diving has that feeling though too. completely otherworldly, just the sound of your own air.

China will be landing a man on Mars before us unless things change.

Landing dead bodies doesn’t count. The objective is land live astronauts and then get them back. The Chinese don’t care

We're never going to have first contact with the Vulcans until we unify as a planet.

We have until about 2060 to do that and develop warp technology.

The Flames will suck about 1/6th as much when they play games on the moon.
