Space Log:
HD 46375 - 96 LY from Earth. X-Gama3 small rocky planet just inside the habitable zone. Looked to be a desert planet from space. Mostly sedimentary rock suggests an active ancient past. Sagan and I drove 34 kilometers from the J-1 Lander looking for cool stuff, but didn't find anything. Tonight we're doing game night with the crew and eating pizza. Might as well, just pack it up for X-Gama3 and move on...
Even in space, when traveling trillions of miles at ludicrous relativistic speeds, spanning hundreds of years in space and time, jobs can become mundane and well... Old hat. A simple game night with friends talking about music, and art and terrifying mind-bending alien encounters beyond all human comprehension, can really lift the spirit.
