Sol System
Well, things at the station here in Sol seem to have settled down. They started repairs a few days ago. It's a big relief, and a weight off my shoulders;
I was startin' to get used to seeing the chaos.
Sure, the Credits for evacuating people were good, but I won't miss that feeling of having to leave desperate passengers on that burning wreck because my cabins were full.
I figured it was high time I did a little sightseeing here in Sol.
I hopped around to the usual tourist spots, and did a little history reading.
I even cut the engines and drifted around the Moon while I read some ancient history on "NASA" and the "United States of America".
This sounds ridiculous but apparently the first people to get to the Moon from Earth took about 3 days! That trip is like what, a minute tops in supercruise!?
Those guys rode in some aluminum can with a combustion fueled engine for 3 days!?
That would drive me insane, I can't imagine how humanity lived without Frame Shift Drives. Slower times back then I guess.
I made one last stop, at the Pilot's Memorial to pay my respects.
Funny, space is such a solitary place. You spend a long time alone, but there are always others. Sometimes you pass by one another like ships in the night, or make friends....or enemies.
So much space, and such a massive galaxy, but we are all here, alongside each other.
Life is made special, when it's shared.
