"Maybe after this trip we could plan another one, if everything goes well," he said, watching as they drove. "I mean, other than the group trip you were just talking about. I think if I gave more notice than I did for this trip I could probably get more time off. And maybe we could do something like hit a cruise. I've never been on one of those before."
He thought for a moment. "I don't really know how to explain it. When you're here, or some other planet, and you look up at the sky it all seems so so far away. When you're actually in the middle of space, though, it's so close. It's dark, but everything that looks so tiny from the ground looks huge. I mean, stars aren't tiny dots in the sky in space. They're...bigger. I can't really describe it. But it's pretty cool, if you can wrap your head around it."
He got out as well and went to the trunk to grab their things. "There's a lot of tech I wish we had here. Not just the stuff in space, but other comforts of home. Though I will admit I had some tech from this era, so not everything was unfamiliar. And while most of the cars drive themselves, my stepfather had a collection of classic cars so I knew how to drive one, plus I already told you about my motorcycle." Then he grinned. "Though I sent one of my stepfather's cars over the side of a cliff the only time I drove it. Almost went over the cliff myself, too."
