Good visuals and words. Viewers universally praised it. Phil Plait
raved about it.

But it made me sad.....

Viewed from the comfort of my armchair it was a lovely vision.

But then I thought about the reality of living in that vision. Locked
in a tin box for months or years to get there. Trapped in a metal dome
on a desert planet. Sealed in a spacesuit to venture outside the dome.
It would be like volunteering to go to a prison with barren views out
the window.

To me it emphasized that these places are not for humans. They are for
our machines.
