Of cosmic relevance

We were watching 'Armagedon', a movie that I had never seen but knew featured an asteriod, a herioc death for Bruce Willis and the song by Aerosmith about not closing your eyes.  As the two space shuttles took off from Earth and headed towards the asteroid, Brittney posed this little gem of a question:

"How do they avoid crashing into other stars?"

This question hurt me severely and called a lot of things into question and I told her so.  Don't worry though, I chastised her until she stopped caring what I was saying and then hurried here to inform you, the internet, so as to keep a record of her complete lack of understanding of the Universe for future generations to marvel at.

This Kyle D.C. Stevenson, the date is August 29th, 2010.  Hello to you, brave generations of the future.  Did you cry during Armagedon?
