I always wanted to explore deep space thoroughly, so being alone out there is not a problem for me. Nevertheless this is not the case for most of the people in the "Bubble". Human beings are prone to accomodate to these safer environments and tend to miss a lot by doing so.Have you noticed how big the "Bubble" is compared to the rest of the Galaxy? How much are you missing if you never leave your confort zone? - These are the questions that I tend to ask other people that don't share my view, hopelessly trying to bring more people to try deep space exploration.
And so I had an idea - what if i saved some money, bought a fleet carrier and invited people to come with me? Maybe the fleet carrier would be the "bicycle training wheels" people need so they could see for themselves what deep space exploration really is.
In the 15th Century, the portuguese sailors believed that there was a giant, a devourer of men by the name "Adamastor", living where now is South Africa. "Cape of Torment" was the name they used to call to that remote location due to the gigantic and crushing swells that took so many sailor's lives. However they kept trying, their goal was to find a maritime route to India, beginning what we called in the 21th century as "Globalization".
Eventually they realized "Adamastor" was just a product of their imagination, representing their biggest fears - after they managed to get to Indian Ocean they named the "Cape of Torment" the "Cape of Good Hope", as it is called today.
I named my fleet carrier "Adamastor" to remind people that it's our fears that holds us from doing what we want to do, it's our fears that prevents us from leaving our confort zone and this is the reason i am doing this expedition for my squadron.
I am on my way now to colonia to learn more about the engineers that might be useful to unlock, so that next week we will be able to make the most of our first big expedition. I will be keeping my logs updated!
Until next time...
