"I became aware of the melon: Seedless? If it had no parents, how did it get here? If it wasn't born, then it never actually has lived. And if it hasn't lived... well, I refuse to travel with a dead melon."

Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen in my entire youtube viewing. This imaginative blend of obtuse and fresh takes on established masterpieces had me anticipating the next scene, wondering what would come after the previous interpretation of the issues confronting the astronaut. Fantastic job!

Weird, funny and entertaining parody. Amazingly well animated, full of subtle detail and craftily paced production. More proof that a solid well developed story is the key. 😊 P.s. Saw this in 2017 and now in 2020. 👍

There was a nice SciFi - fantasy story that flipped that quote in reverse. It was a book telling the tail of a new technology that became #1 seller, and put Apple, Samsung, LG, IBM, and all the rest out of business... until clever hackers tried to reverse engineer the tech, only to discover hidden deep in one of the chips was actual Magic. The tech company was a fraud - they were actual wizards repackaging their ancient spells into devices they could sell, and pass off as advanced technology... :-) "Any sufficiently advanced form of magic is indistinguishable from technology."
