(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[Ok, do you have the bugspray?]
$a[Yeah, and the sleeping bags.]
$b[I'm just gonna leave my phone here. ][[Let's go.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[It's so dark.]
$b[Nonono! Don't turn on the light. We need to adjust.
][[Here, hold my hand.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[Is ][[this]]$b[ a good spot?]
$a[Uhh, let's just go up ][[over that ridge.]]$a[ I don't want to be able to see the treetops.]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Hold this for a sec? I'll unroll the sleeping bags.]
$b[Ahh, the grass is kinda wet.]
[[whatever]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[That flat spot up there?]
$b[Perfect.]
$a[Oh my god. ][[look up!]]
[[Wait]]$b[ it's gonna get even better.]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Alright, I think ][[this is the place.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[Careful, there's a hole here.]
$a[This seems like a good spot. Let's ][[put down the sleeping bag->this]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Do you ever just want to ][[GO]]$a[ up there?]
$b[Yeah.]
$b[It seems like it could be ][[lonely.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[Mmm, ok pull the other bag on top of us.]
$a[Alrig -- woowww... ][[look->look up!]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Sometimes I like just thinking about the freedom of motion.]
$b[Huh?]
$a[Like you can just pick a direction and go. ][[Forever.]]
$b[I'd be scared I'd never touch anything solid again. You could just ][[drift indefinitely.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Any more lonely than here?
... I mean, I have you. Up there is infinite possibilty.]
$b[Here we have everyone and everything. In a way, Earth is the best home we'll ever find. We literally ][[evolved->drift indefinitely.]]$b[ to be perfectly suited to it.]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[Just imagine the ][[stars drifting by]]$a[ on all sides.
We can't even understand the scale of it all. I could fly as fast a bullet and not know. Everything would look stationary.]
$b[Does it make you ][[sad]]$b[ that we'll never get to experience it all?]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[Imagine. You're up there in this little capsule and as you lean against the wall you know that only inches away there is a dark frozen vacuum that will end you instantly.
And what's worse is you can't get out when you want. You can't go home because you're done. You have no freedom.]
$a[Well I mean you could go home. NASA has escape pods.
But I don't mean now! Think about the future, you have your own ship and you can go anywhere. It's ][[infinite freedom.->Forever.]]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$b[I like to think about just how much there is. Like you could stop at any one of those stars, and there would be a few planets, and each planet is it's own world!]
$a[And there could be new life, or new forms of beauty, or new terrain to explore. A whole planet's worth of stuff.]
(set: $a to (color: #5080c0))
(set: $b to (color: #50a080))
$a[It does. I think about it a lot actually. Maybe I'll come to terms with it at some point, but for now all I can do is just strive to see more, you know?]
