The silence of infinite space appalled me

Interrogé par Alpha 60, Lemmy Caution parodie Pascal :

“Vous arrivez des pays extérieurs : qu’avez-vous éprouvé en traversant les espaces galaxiques ? — Le silence de ces espaces infinis m’a… m’a effrayé.”

“Le silence éternel de ces espaces infinis m’effraie.” (Pensées)
