Better written? Impossible.

Our entire modern phase of evolution took place in less time than it took light to travel from one end of that space flower to the other. I can not grasp the size of this universe at all. I want a quantum computer for a brain.

In this case it's the Cheers nebula, where you can probably guess the rest.

It's like the show, but WAY bigger and better written.

Oh and no Ted Dansen.

Coincidentally, M83 is one of my favorite bands. It's a mix of shoegaze, ambient and electronica, and it's sooo damn good.
