addendum

i don’t know if I made this clear in my first two posts, but I’m currently orbiting the earth on a highly covert, privately funded mission of abject proportions. So if I talk about space or astrophysics its not a metaphor. I’m orbiting the earth, remember? I just don't want to confuse the literal with the metaphorical because that's how religious fundamentalism is born. also it’s awesomer to be in space than it is to talk about being in space while being on earth.
