Venus Public Transit (VPT)

[töff]

Somebody grab the last slot or I'll make it up myself!

The sun? Go on, just as a challenge

I know. I already have one.

I'm so glad I said "Anywhere from Mercury to Sedna."

The sun, hahaha.

Although, we do have gravity-bubble technology in this storyworld. Some spaceships create artificial singularities around themselves, and essentially "disconnect from the universe." Such a ship could fly through the sun.

But that hardly constitutes a story location, does it!

OT ... btw ... check this out.

Good news article. I love hearing about the astrophysics experiments using old satellites. I'm jsut amazed that the satellites are still sending back data when they are over 30 years old and a very long way away.

Those lil dudes rock. 100 years from now we'll still be talkin about em, in terms that rival sliced bread.

I have to put a time limit on the "choose sites for the story" thing, because I only have a month (meaning 10-12 hours, probs) to write the chapter. So, if there's no fifth choice by the end of Monday, I'll throw in my own choice. Or maybe use that extra suggestion from, well, I don't remember who or where, but there was a double so maybe I'll use both.

THANK YOU to those who picked locations! It should be a fun cahllenge for me to write, and I hope some of you will read (and enjoy!) the chapter.

[töff]

But I have a map idea, and if I get the fifth location by midnight pacific today then I'll do the map and post it here.

Bribe 'em with what they want! what they neeeeeed!

1. Titan* (a moon of Saturn)
2. Rings of Saturn
3. Io (a moon of Joviter)
4. Ceres (in the Asteroid Belt)
5. Mars

That makes a straight line moving inward: Saturn, Jupiter, Belt, Mars. The "obvious" choice was Mars, wasn't it. Obvious is not always bad.

* House Linzin has a huge holding TRITON, a moon of Neptune. I always get the name mixed up with TITAN. The Jovian moons (the Galileans, anyway) are usually obvious, but I make a muddle of other planets' moons.

I'll start a new thread for the solar system map I have in mind. This thread is definitely done for VPT.

THANKS AGAIN TO THE GUILD! I'm really glad I found this place. You guys are all great company. (Not like some other communities I've hung out in.)

[RPMiller]

Glad to be of service. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and learning more about the setting especially.

And thank you for being a member. We couldn't be a great place without great members such as yourself.

LOL! ... "Venus, visually boring." lulz! :p
