30. Wow! That is so cool.

You obviously know more astronomy than I. We have some magnificent skies here at night and I use my star walk app a lot, but I rarely know what I am really looking at.

I did see the space shuttle chase MIR and attach to it one night a couple of years ago. That was very cool.

Of course, gravity is not supernatural. While we may not fully understand, we have some understanding of it.
