Robin Williams recited a Martian #haiku about red #sand, although the regolithic #poetry concerned his summer vacation in outer space.
I can't totally recall, but it was at least twenty Mars years ago.

–So, do you want an omelette or would you prefer to wait for an opportunity to have fried chicken?
–Neither. This place brings back bad memories so let's just leave.
–Yeah well, it's not like we'll want to be here when mama bird returns anyway.

Happy Easter to all of you! 🐣
#SciFiSat [Following on yesterday’s post, this is what happens when SkyPiercer emerges from the temporal quantum pod.]
#SciFiSat [1/7] As the first day ended, they took their stations to wait for what was supposed to happen. It was not necessary to do anything to birth the ship; the pod did it of itself when it was ready. If their calculations had been correct, that moment was – now!
#SciFiSat [2/7] They waited. Nothing happened. Then suddenly, without a clue that anything had changed, the com lights winked on. The cam screen also lit up, displaying static because its external port was sealed. They had been birthed back into real time.
#SciFiSat [3/7] “Cmdr. Yang, unseal the cam port,” Lara said a little harshly.
Everyone grew quiet. The remote cam worked perfectly. It turtle-necked from its port – swiveled – panned up … and fixed its gaze upon the stars.
#SciFiSat [4/7] And stars were everywhere – above, to port, to starboard … They rolled the ship so they could look below and there, too, they saw only stars. One of them was large and bright, but yet it was too small to be any longer named the Sun of Earth.
#SciFiSat [5/7] They got a fix on that star, took measurements, and made calculations. They had come precisely one tenth of a light year, even as they had intended, and were drifting in interstellar space.
#SciFiSat [6/7] The Engineers had come up to gawk along with the rest of the crew. Kolm was standing behind Robbie gripping his shoulder.
“Look, Goody,” Robbie said, laughing emotionally. “Right there – that’s Epsilon Eridani. Another 100 jumps and we could be there! …
#SciFiSat [7/7] “We came all this way and nobody saw us. Nobody knew we existed – we were outside of time. It’s awesome – awesome!”
“We’ve done it, friend of mine,” Kolm said. “Sure it’s all been worthwhile. We’ve proved that humanity has the power to move among the stars.”

My book review of the space opera "Inherit the Stars." I didn't read it just because of the story jamespyles1.substack.com/p/book-revie... #SciFi #SciFiSat

Who minds all the stars,
Sees to the circling systems'
Illusive music?

Rise mind, rise - away

If he hadn't worn mag boots, I mean.
–I don't know and right now I don't care. Could you please just tell him to fix the bloody radar so that I can start tracking that asteroid because something tells me that we'll have to change our orbit!
[5/5]
#SciFiSat
–Reyes? Oh, he's just fine...
–How do you know?
–Look at the screen. Selfies with an asteroid, what might be next...
–Strewth! Hah! You think the gravity of the asteroid would've been enough to sweep him off the hull?
[4/5]
#SciFiSat
–It's not his fault. I was the one who failed to notice that the feed kept looping data from last week.
–Easy to miss, it's not that there's a lot going on out here anyway... until just now. I should check in on him just to make sure he's all dinky dee...
[3/5]
#SciFiSat
–It is, Cadwell, but I haven't been able to do so lately, as the radar antenna is broken.
–Crikey... How did it break?
–No clue but Reyes is looking into it as we speak.
–Only now? The lazy...

#SciFiSat
–Hooley dooley, mate! That was close! That was _too_ close! Some hundred meters to the left and that rock would have hit us, turning us all into big mobs of space junk! Aldrich, I thought your yakka is to be on the lookout for such things!
