Talk:2906: Earth

I originally read the caption as "how badly we'd messed up", which... changes Sagan's tone somewhat. 172.71.155.54 08:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

At first I thought the joke was that the rocket firing had somehow gone so catastrophically badly that the entire Earth had literally been reduced to dust. Fabian42 (talk) 08:37, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

So, according to explainxkcd, that’s a square “spacecraft window”?? Why have we never seen a square spacecraft window in any other context, ever? Did Randall screw up that badly in the original comic, or was it a previous explainxkcd editor who screwed up here? 172.70.214.60 08:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're on about and why anyone has to have screwed up. Why can't it be a rectangular (we don't know it's square) spacecraft window? Bischoff (talk) 09:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

This is very clearly a triangle shaped window in a very elongated spaceship Whimsical (talk) 11:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Maybe it is part of a huge spider-shaped window? (I home people here will remember that meta-reference to What If) 172.71.94.208 12:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
