"My eyes have never seen such a sight"
Astronaut fixes shuttle in smooth move
This random thought is not so much about this particular repair mission and astronaut Steve Robinson's spacewalk; it's more about the hyperbole involved.
"My eyes have never seen such a sight"
I think of those words Robinson uttered as he viewed, firsthand, the heavenly hosts, and I thought to myself how infinitely inferior they are to thee Heavenly hosts, and how entirely insufficient his description was to describe them. I have no doubt that the sight Mr. Robinson saw yesterday was indeed the most spectacular sight he's ever seen as a human, but I thought to myself, how much more will the sight of Heaven and the Lord of Glory be? I guess words can't really describe it because our limited humanity has no words to. But if something like the tapestry of space can draw a man to say such words as Robinson's, just think what the manifested glory of Christ will do to our souls. Gives me goosebumps. Look forward to it :)

I think you are right on here. The great thing is that things in this world is that God gives us a glimpse of himself through the things he creates in this world. While Robinson's word's are insufficient, they could not have been anything else coming form an finite body in a finite world. The cliche he spoke only hints at the glory that awaits us.
Good thoughts. By the way...let's by a ticket to space on Virgin.
