Were you under some kind of attack?

@Host

Civil war that spanned the planet and pretty much every nation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

So you went from an empty planet to empty space? That's sounds like a tough lot.

@Host

It wasn't empty when I left it. But I'd be shocked if it wasn't by the time the dust settled.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Sorry, I don't know who that is.

@Host

Not the important part. My home universe was pretty much entirely empty aside from us. We were floating through a lifeless void for a few years.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Wilder than going into space?

@Host

More lively, for sure. Space life was actually really boring for the majority of it, until Sven came along and showed me other realities.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

That so? You didn't strike me as the type to run into danger without a second thought.

@Host

Not these days. Things were much wilder through my teens.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

That sounds like a huge risk.

@Host

These were times where this sort of thing was the least dangerous thing I could have done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

How do you know it's going to work before trying it?

@Host

I don't. There are avenues to test these things.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

Yes, the surprise.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What do you have to think about when building for space travel instead of something like sea travel?

@Host

Two entirely different things. A sea vessel needs to be concerned about bouyancy, being sealed on its lower portion, etcetera. A space vessel needs to be able to escape the gravitational pull of any planet or moon it lands on, deal with cosmic radiation, circulate its own oxygen, maintain other resources needed for life, along with loads of other things you'd expect when dealing with a mostly empty cosmos.

Thank you, would you like another?

@Blabbo

Nah... Whiskey. The good stuff.

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

I'm trying to figure out what it is.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Sure, but other than the raw components.

@Host

A good understanding of mechanics and physics for one. But other than that, I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I believe so too.

@Blabbo

*Swirls my drink around and then takes another swig*
Good stuff.
