outer space

I remember when when I thought that the clouds turned over to make it night outside and the sun turned off, and that was the moon

When I was young, I used to believe that we lived "inside" the globe and what we on maps are actually what the clouds form in the sky. Then one day, mom told me we lived "on" earth. I was scared as hell, and avoided going out of my home at night because I feared I'd fall off the surface!

When I looked at the globe, I used to believe for a long time that the world (and us) was actually inside the giant blue sphere and the blue sphere was the blue sky.

i used to believe that if a star fell from the sky, the earth would go up to take its place.

When i was about 5 or 6 i thought that all the atmosphere was held down by the ozone layer. i always worried about spaceships popping it or the shock wave from an atomic bomb letting air out.

I used to think Sissy Spacek and Kevin Spacey were astronauts and that they lived on Venus.

I used to believe that the planet Earth just like other planets is far way from us in the sky where we see stars and we live on a place with a ground and trees and everything else

When I was small, perhaps 4 or 5, I found an atlas with a fold-out picture of the solar system. I showed the Sun and the planets spaced about it, the asteroid belt between the Mars and the outer solar system, and so on.

I could not conceive how these things would be floating around out there, so I reasoned, since things fall on Earth, they must be falling out there too. Only they had to fall all at the same rate to stick together and still be a solar system. What they were falling toward I never defined.

I also thought there must have been balls of gravity to which the dust from interstellar space stuck to form the planets...in the same way lint sticks to tape when your mother dresses you up in uncomfortable clothes to go to a wedding and you played with the dog and now Mom has to get tape and take all the dog hair off your nice clothes.

I also remember being amazed to learn the Germans used the same numbers we do. Sneaky bunch, stealing our numbers.

I use to believe that the earth was one huge round rock which was in space and where I was standing was a rock reflecting that rock which is earth.

I used to like Neopets when I was 11 until I was around 14, and I believed that the brightest star in the sky at night was Neopia. Now I know it's Venus...I always knew it was Venus until that short time I thought it was Neopia.

Neopets is too time-consuming now ]:(

I used to think that those jets that leave lines in the sky were actually rockets going to space. when they were flying "down", I assumed they were crashing. I was always worried that one was going to crash into our house.
