Awesome Space Facts from Head Squeeze

In honor of World Space Week, cosmologist Andrew Pontzen, particle physicist Tom Whyntie, British television host James May, and the rest of the folks over at Head Squeeze give us this really cool list of the most amazing space facts they’ve encountered while making Head Squeeze.

From the unfathomable age of the universe, to the distance to the nearest star (other than our Sun), plans for space tourism, and that Russian cosmonauts have a tradition of kicking the cosmonauts in their butts as the enter the capsule — these facts are truly astounding.
