#nostalgia for infinity

[owlbear33]

I've on occasion said that the best sort of spaceship is one that acts as a shared house for 3 to 10 ish weirdoes to find found family in, plus all the usual spaceship gubbins

vaguely gesturing in the direction of Ebon Hawks, Sereneties, Be Bops, Tempests, and the like

little ships, sorta in the 40-150m range

but there's nothing in that description that precludes multi-kilometre behemoths complete with generous cargo space, an extensive cache of WMDs, and an onboard arboretum

the crew on the other hand

The moment I knew I'd love the Revelation Space books is when, to save herself from falling to death through a several kilometer long elevator shaft, Volyova flies the ship up and down until her falling speed is close to zero when she gets back to solid ground.

This requires trial and error, of course, so it was a very abrupt up and down. She still made it out with only a broken leg!

Her attempted murderer, however, was crushed to goo in the hallway he threw her from.

Crushed to goo via spaceflight. Wonderfully brutal

I'm half asleep when I get up from my bed, and sit down next to my ten-year-old self.

"You're an adult. You're not like me." They say.

"I'm still you." I reply with a sadness I wasn't prepared for. "I'm still just like you."

"No," they insist, "you're an authority. An other. Something I don't understand. I don't see myself in you."

"But I see myself in you." I'm desperate, and I don't know why.

"How?"

"You know about infinity, right?" I already know the answer, but I ask anyway.

"Yeah." They look up at me from the scribbles of Pokemon in a math notebook, from the stuffed animals arranged in a town made of blankets. I don't see the life in them anymore, but I remember what it was like to.

"The universe is infinite."

I pick up a stuffed animal. I still have this one, it now sits on a shelf untouched for years. The fabric is still just as soft, just as loved.

"So adults might know more." I say with conviction, surprised it's my own. "But we all carry the same amount of unknowing. We're all just as lost."

My ten-year-old eyes stare at me. I stare back.

"Why is this important to you?" They ask.

"I don't know." I answer truthfully.

"Maybe I'm just still scared of being left behind."

Trying to live in the now, knowing that one day even the most insignificant now, will become a beautiful memory.
