So, The Stick Of Truth is a good game, and if you don't think South Park is puerile nonsense then I recommend it. Having finished it in the last week I'm heading back out.
Sunny Side Up was lost in the void, the insurance company have provided me with like for like in exchange for a reasonable excess. I am calling her Silence Unbounded.
The UC data doesn't come back in the escape pod, but the pictures do - so before I set out again I offer my favourites from what will hopefully remain (for all our sakes) the longest trip known to have failed to return.
Not my favourite for many reasons, but here is *that* picture. This is what Sunny Side Up died for...

It's the first planetary nebula I've come across.
And now, as the inimitable Mr Coverdale said...

Icy planets can be pretty if you go and look at them

There's a planet behind me, and a couple between me and the star too

On the way to Heart and Soul, seen through some rings

My first water world

My first black hole

Can't remember where this was, but it's pleasingly purple. Somewhere in the North America/Pelican/Veil West kind of area...

Not particularly special, just the first star I happened across that was older than the universe...

Coming along the near rim, heading towards Crab, Barnard's Loop became a definite face for a few systems. He was watching me.
