It’s interesting, isn’t it? I’m several hundred years in the past here, but even if I wasn’t, it’d be silly to think things would go the same as they did back home. Maybe the countries in my world will never exist here. [Or the colonies. It’s easy enough to keep his voice even, but the idea of outer space being-- empty except for a lunar base and some launch site on Mars’s moon strikes him as something very sad.] Are you enjoying it? While you’re here.
