Damn OCD

Okay, so I know you’re expecting wondrous discoveries and tales of narrow escapes in the void between the stars. This however is the tale of a guy who at present can’t just say good enough and move on. Like two jumps into my planned epic journey to “Get High” (astronomically speaking), I stumbled upon a system with 48 bodies, of which like two had been previously mapped. Now I should have mapped a couple to plant my cartographic flag so yo speak and move on but...What if one of them has something interesting somewhere on its barren icy crust? Hell we spent so long as a species on one planet wondering about others it’s just hard to go “yep probably nothing interesting in this massive solar system, moving on”. I know I should keep my eye on the goal and not get bogged down with collecting data on what are sure to be uninteresting balls of ice but I can’t stop myself.
Sigh, I guess a delay of a day or two won’t hurt anything. I bet these prepackaged meals are good for years. Though I’m already craving a Dalgarno Burger...
