Somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn, I had to resort to

   $(".essay").each(function(i){console.log($(this).text())});

to read the fun little text snippets. I like how it got fairly philosophical—everything eventually turns to philosophy if you are stranded out in space. Thanks for putting this together; it was a nice take on the perspective of our universe.

And here's the output of that command for those interested:

And by interested, you mean lazy.

Thanks!

Thanks for that line of code. I liked the writing too. It would be nice if there was a compressed mode where you could see the statements and planets without scrolling through space but that would defeat the purpose of showing you the scale of the solar system.

Or you could just, y'know, view source.

Select all --> copy --> paste into editor works too.

I think the author almost needs to include a similar function for end users.

There's so much emptiness, it's only natural to eventually crave all the content. (Fits the writing too)

Once you scroll for a sufficient period, maybe a little button with the spoilers? :)
