Just to add onto the strange observations to encourage more people to go:

- I saw a child start laughing uncontrollably at 99.9% and then go completely silent and literally fall over at 100%

- A grown woman began sobbing

Occurred to me that we humans are among those animals that "start acting strangely" when this event occurs. Even when we know what's happening!

For me personally, it was the first and only time in my life that I felt, in a spatial awareness sense, that I was on a rock flying through space. The immensity, scale, anciency, and inevitability of the whole system just really hit me in the face in a way that is impossible to describe.
