The universe is expanding even faster than expected

This is absolutely mind-blowing. To think that at our current (known / practiced privately) technology level the universe is actually getting smaller is fascinating. Granted, I (or probably us as a species) won't be around to see when it's fully at "double" the distance between objects, the further everything travels away is probably still faster than our advances at getting fast enough just to keep up with expansion.

Hell, if it didn't expand we'd probably still be pretty far off from being able to travel any measurable distance. Again, at our "current known / practiced" speed
