In 2090 to 3007, space travel had become vital in order to expand Earth's territory into space. Research teams were sent regularly throughout the star system to chart and learn about the universe through the new N.A.S.A. initiative, "The Sub-Zero Protocol." In order to maintain contact with N.A.S.A., mission logs were created by the travelers to describe their findings as well as any developments on their travels. These are the logs of traveler #789, Maxine Anchor, and detail the happenings of the 3007 Gamma Mystery.

Mission Log 175.1, Day 275, Gamma System:

Big Hollywood hot shots always make space movies wrong. They always make space travel really scientific and boring and full of death with evil aliens who only force the movie to have more death and blood and character angst and death and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Anyway, my point is that Interstellar had time passing in a weird way because of some weird gravity distortion. The Martian had some O₂ mishaps that resulted in never ending tangents of science talk. Oh, and Ender's Game, let's not even go there.

All the films are lies really. Space is actually quite peaceful. You just travel with you and your companions, researching dust, or plasma, or rocks for weeks at a time. Pretty normal stuff really. I've done years of this traveling spending the days researching my life away. I'm actually a Xenobiologist, so I try to look for life on rocks and what-nots.

And guess what? I can guarantee that space is actually 100% Kraken free. Hooray!

But giant squids aside, I'm serious about the space thing. It's really anticlimactic, not exciting, and mainly just a pretty view.

And that's all it should be, which is why, what I'm about to jot down here in log number 175, is hard to swallow. Sorry N.A.S.A. ...
