Couldn't tell you off the top of my head. Traveling between worlds is kind of like...moving from town to town, where I'm from. But uh, it's quiet up there. I guess that's good or bad depending on who you are but, to me, it's a nice quiet.

[Explaining this thing he deals with literally all the time to someone who knows absolutely nothing about it is hard, who knew? He chooses to draw on one experience to hopefully capture the feeling.]

There's no sunrise or sunset up there in space, so I have to have...someone, tell me when it's time to wake up. [He's not going to try and get into explaining AI and alarms and all that stuff now.] I remember one morning, our ship was passing a sun in the distance. Far, far away. But the light shone into my windows with this red-orange glow that reminded me of home...and I looked out and just saw this giant ball of light surrounded by millions and millions of smaller ones dotting the darkness of space.

I watched it for like, twenty minutes, before someone from my team had to come get me and yell at me for being late to my own meeting.

[He laughs at the end there, but it's a fond one.]

But yeah, that's what it's like, most times.
