Too bad velcro fades after a while and also looks like ass when the rings get all stretched :D When I was a kid the rings looked so bad that I decided to give em a trim to make it look nicer -- little did I know I screwed up my shoes! I guess when I was 8 I failed understand the concept of hooks and rings.
Anything that involves our activities in space - look at the Voyager probes and New Horizons. Getting those things to send signals across the solar system, predicting their trajectories with enough accuracy to use other planets to slingshot them places: it seems impossible but we've done it and continue to advance. Those pictures of Pluto were sent by a weak electromagnetic wave across billions of kilometres of space. Just thinking about it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Surviving, and even prospering, over half a million years despite its own incline to destroy everything it touches, most of which ends up affecting itself very much.
I remember my mum got a Game Gear with Sonic when I was about 5. it was awesome. She got me a SNES one year we only had Super Mario Bros/Duck hunt and Paperboy for it :D One xmas when my sister was old enough hey bought us both the Gameboy Colour and pokemon blue/red (I took blue) and it was the greatest thing ever!
Then the PlayStation purchase happened and Spyro the dragon just... wow.
But I remember playing my mum's Game Watches that she'd bought in Japan while on the boat with my dad heh

Velcro. I'll never tie my shoes again!

I typically wear out the soles on my shoes before the velcro goes bad, though.
