It's nice to get signal even out here. I'd like to thank Tony and Pepper again for giving me such a nice view of the city while dangling off the balcony ledge to get some air.
For those of us who grew up on Earth, or rather, a version of Earth - a little under 1% of the static that you see on your television set is a remnant of the Big Bang. If you were able to see microwave light instead of just visible light, the night sky would glow a bright, unforgiving white from the glowing heat of the ancient explosion. The atoms that make up your body are ancient as well, and recycled - so you are as much a part of Joan of Arc as you are Joseph Stalin. Humbling, somehow.
