Medium-Range Spaceflight

The serious business of leaving Earth orbit and going somewhere—the moon, Lagrange points, maybe Mars if we ever get our act together. Medium-range spaceflight requires weeks or months, real planning, and the willingness to be very far from help if something goes wrong. It's for people who are committed to space, not just sampling it, and who have accepted that they will miss several seasons of their favorite shows, possibly forever, depending on how the landing goes.
Example: "She trained for years for medium-range spaceflight—a six-month mission to a lunar station. She'd miss birthdays, holidays, and the entire run of whatever Netflix series dropped while she was gone. But she'd see Earth rise over the lunar horizon, which seemed like a fair trade, assuming the rocket didn't explode. Her mother was not convinced."

The application of Critical Theory to space science—examining how space exploration and research are shaped by power, politics, and economics. Critical Theory of Space Science asks: Who funds space science? For what purposes? How do military and corporate interests shape space agendas? Whose dreams of space are realized, whose are excluded? How might space science serve humanity rather than nationalism or profit? Drawing on critical geography and science studies, it insists that space is never just "out there"—it's an extension of Earthly politics, power, and inequality.
"Space exploration is for all humanity, they say. Critical Theory of Space Science asks: funded by whom? Controlled by whom? Billionaires racing to space while people starve—that's not 'all humanity.' Space science serves power, just like everything else. Critical theory insists on asking: who benefits from space, and who's left behind on Earth?"

Visual Thought Space

That place in your thoughts you use tk visualise something. What is used when you recall a memory or use your imagination to create an mental image.
I was lost for a moment, in my visual thought space, imagining how it could’ve looked in another colour.

23:59 Sacred Space

The final minute of the year, a bridge between what was and what will be. It represents a state of suspension where distance, yearning and hope converge. It is often referred to as a "Secret Place" where two souls connect in spirit, regardless of physical location, just before the clock resets...
Today the last day of December
I will miss you tonight, like all the other nights
Only some more with lots of yearning and ache
To hold your hand
To see your face
In hope this new year brings us closer
In spirit and connection
Shows us direction
832
I have some more to tell you later...
Into the New Year
23:59 Sacred space Secret place

A late-posted sentiment transcending the 31st of December, finally finding its place in the light of the new year.

We're on a rock in space

The perfect excuse to literally anything
Meant to symbolize "Nothing really matters"
Also makes you sound super fucking stupid
"Dude, are you sure you wanna eat all those ghost peppers?"

"We're on a rock in space."
