“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there.
When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”

"The #oceanic pole of #inaccessibility, also known as #PointNemo [...] is the place in the #Pacific ocean that is #farthest from land. [...] The area is so remote that—as with any location more than 400 kilometres (250 mi) from an inhabited area—sometimes the closest human beings are astronauts aboard the #InternationalSpaceStation when it passes overhead. [...] The general area plays a major role in the 1928 short story "The Call of #Cthulhu" by H. P. #Lovecraft, as holding the location of the fictional city of R'lyeh, although this story was written 66 years before the identification of Point Nemo. The area is nowadays known as a "#spacecraft #cemetery" because hundreds of decommissioned #satellites, #space stations, and other spacecraft have been made to fall there upon re-entering the atmosphere, to lessen the risk of hitting inhabited locations or maritime traffic. The #ISS is planned to crash into Point Nemo in 2031.
