I won't lie, I have not been very active these past few days. I haven't really felt the desire to do anything. I just keep thinking about how everyone's lives at home have improved without me. When I'm not thinking about what's going on at home I think about Richard, and all the good memories we shared together.
He would have been amazed to see how massive Jupiter is. When objects reach a certain size, it can be hard for humans to wrap their heads around their true magnitude. You can tell just by looking how much larger Jupiter is to Earth though. Richard would have loved to see it.
We got a great visual of the Great Red Spot today. It certainly is a sight to behold. I remember one time he told me about how that dot was the greatest storm in the solar system, and how Earth could fit inside it. That really put it into perspective of how massive Jupiter truly is.
A storm the size of Earth!? That is one of those things that you simply can't compute. The scale is too great for the human mind to comprehend. It really makes you see how small and insignificant you truly are.
