Happy International Day of Human Space Flight! For those not Earth based it celebrates the first human space flight by Yuri Gagarin. One whole rotation of Earth in Vostok 1, which at the time was a Big Ass Deal and predated the American moon landing by eight years, which sadly Gagarin didn't live to see.

Anyways have a picture of the Orion Nebula that I found in the Castle archives. Orion Nebula can be visible even with a telescope on Earth and was one of the first things in the night sky I obsessed over as a kid and pretty much cemented the I want to go to there.

Hey, I was going to go see Red in a little bit here, was wondering if you wanted to come with me?

	Good choice. I was obsessed with the Veil Nebula. And pretty much every moon we knew about. [Lance] Yeah, of course. Has anything changed? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Also a good choice. I remember being annoyed if it was cloudy the nights it was visible enough for my little telescope to see that one. I also wanted nothing more than to just drop into the middle Saturn even though I knew it was an impossibility. Not even sure our Lions could handle that.

SHIRO.
No, no change. I was going to try the mediation thing again but I'm really bad at it. Thought maybe you might have some pointers.

	Ha, yeah that might be pushing their limits. But then Black did save me from actual death so who knows. [Lance] Oh. Sure, I can walk you thru one I used to use at school. Maybe we can open up some kind of link, between Black and Red. If she doesn't want to talk to us, she might open up more to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was on my list of things to look into for when we managed to get back home. But then everything else happened so never did get at it. SHIRO. Yeah? That's a really great idea, Shiro. We should definitely try that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I miss seeing the constellations that you can spot on Earth. There's different ones here but there's something soothing about what's familiar. Its like the moon. Its a moon but its not the moon so it doesn't have the same type of power to it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Same. There was something to be said about knowing the sky in your backyard like the back of your hand. Been a while since I could say that one. Maybe it has other power? Some weird magic power. Maybe the moon is why we're all here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's so weird learning it all over again. And yeah, it has power! A lot even. It just feels different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is, but it's been kind of fun too? Usually we didn't stick around too much in one place to try to get used to the constellations and moons that particular planet had, but I've been tracking it all here and it's been interesting to learn it all. It has to be in similar orbit to our moon though, I've noticed tides on the coastlines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
