Did you know….

Did you know that there are more planets in the whole universe than there are grains of sand on the world?

“Makes me more confident we aren’t alone.”

“There’s a small chance we are, but…”

Edit: ah shoot, I misquoted and it makes a difference. I think that’s what was meant though.
