Hey there Rocket enthusiasts! While I’ve had my fair share of disagreements with, “trolls,” on the world wide web, I’d like to talk about something that surely everyone can agree on: Road Trips!
Yes, it seems everyone enjoys a good road trip now and then. See the sights, taste the food, feel the atmospheric pressure change as your relation to sea-level alters. But road trips, whether ground-based or interstellar-oriented, often bring about several common, but easily avoidable social faux pas.
First off, leave that big gulp at home. Nobody likes to pull over every 15 minutes because somebody decided to have 3 cups of coffee (or buzemble juice) that morning. It may not be a problem if your space ship comes equipped with a Compact By-Product Removal Unit, but for those of us who like to travel light, it’s a pain to be asked to pull over when there’s nothing but suns for lightyears in any direction.
Also, just because you’re not at the controls doesn’t mean you shouldn’t help out with supplies for your journey. You know what they say, “gas, food-stuffs, or breathable air… nobody rides for free!” I’ve heard the crude Earth version of this saying, and while its rhyme scheme is more traditional, two out of three of the suggested forms of compensation are frowned upon by the Church.
That just about covers the major issues… sure you might leave your friends miffed by your radio-karaoke sessions, or you might have some disagreements over whether to leave the pod-bay doors open or closed, but that’s all part of the experience. So hit the road, space fans! If you’re heading towards the Mulglupta Nebula next weekend, we just might cross paths (that is, if Chocolate Pope doesn’t lose the map again).
