^ This #2 video with a snipped comment off its youtube web-page:
"This is a non-conventional view of our solar system that is different from the standard 'flat' diagrams.
We travel, never return to the same spot again
."
Initially I'd go for the 'around the Milky Way galaxy', but.. what if for hundreds or even millenniums we been.. just passing by the Milky Way galaxy? If the latter part or question is true, then what about the risk of colliding with other solar systems traveling through the space? I'd imagine stars (including the Sun) have some kind of fields that can deal with the colliding. I'm not sure though.
If traveling to somewhere is true, then the entirely of this Solar System is "Enterprise." Opportunities for everyone to survey and explore the outer space as we pass by. If not, then ok.
