    Yeah and you want to play among the stars? They are all lightyears away from each other so you’d just be playing in empty space. Makes no sense at all.

      They are all lightyears away from us, but there are some star clusters, particularly closer to the middle of the Milky Way, that are relatively close to each other.

        “relatively” is doing a shitload of work there

          Alpha Centauri A and B are closer from each other (~23AU) than the Sun and Neptune (~30AU). That’s basically next door in astrological terms, but still a whole freaking lot of empty space lol

        Also, what if there were like, large, space fairing celestial beings which might be biblical spirits or alien monsters in mech suits?.. And they can like, ninja around in space. The song might make more sense for them.

          Confirmed: Frank Sinatra was a space alien.

        Now look, there’s the moon and mars but if you want to go near the middle of the Milky Way that’s a whole different kind of operation my friend.

      Plus:

      1.) No oxygen, so hope you brought your spacesuit, dumbass.

      B.) If you do get too close to a star, you’re dead meat.

      The man has a death wish. It’s an irresponsible song.

    Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

    This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.

    Edit: I’m pretty sure I got baited but I’ll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

      What’s a metaphor? I’m sailing on a sea of ignorance when it comes to taking the journey into learning, but my glass remains half full that I’ll understand metaphors one day. The light bulb will turn on and I’ll no longer be looking like I’m up shit creek without a paddle when it comes to these posts.

    Well, in other words, what they’re trying to say is , “darling, hold my hand. Darling, kiss me.”

      Or maybe “in other words, fuck the moon, in other words, please destroy it”.

    Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars - it’s about space travel in general.

    Spring on Jupiter is delightful! The way the helium3 layer playful mixes with the metallic lithium layer… majestic.

      Doubtful. Jupiter’s atmosphere is almost exclusively comprised of hydrogen and regular helium (helium-4). Helium-3 mainly forms due to nuclear fusion processes (like in our sun) and Jupiter’s core isn’t hot enough for that. There is also no “lithium layer”, lithium is maybe a trace element on Jupiter but not something you’d regularly see outside of the core.

      You might have been on Ganymed, or Io and mistaken sulfur for helium.
