CMDR PAUSANIAS - THE SHIP OF THE MIND EXPEDITION - DAY 55
03 Oct 2020Pausanias
Hi Cmdrs,I haven’t reached The Carl Sagan tonight as there have been loads of planets to scan in the few systems I’ve been through and I found this Icy Ringed Planet with multiple hotspots around it, one of which was a Tritium one!
Having mined in the Cutter until the hold was full I carried on to the Carrier, I was hoping to reach the Carrier tonight but systems like this one below kept slowing me down, tough at the top isn’t it.
I got down to 10 jumps from the Carrier and decided it was getting late. There’s a lot of space in space but if you’re tired you can still hit things you know, I’ve experienced it!
I found this moon and planet arrangement in the system I was in and headed for it . . .
I took this impressive image on approach to the surface.
Once landed I had to take this final photo before shutting down the non-essential systems in the Cutter for the night.
Total Carrier jump distance since 10th August: 17,500 ltyrs - (Personal note: 34 jumps on 2 Oct)
Total Ship jump so far: 36,409 ltyrs
Total planets Level 3 scanned: 12,930
