Elite: Dangerous

[AA™| Vim Fuego]

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

He's not wrong - I did the training exercises the other night, and getting bored I decided to see what was outside of the asteroid field I found myself in. As I neared the edge of the field, I turned the ship to face backwards and found that I wasn't in an asteroid field, as I had believed, but rather one of the rings around a monsterous, dark gas-giant. The asteroids went on and on for thousands and thousands of miles...

I sat there, around 100kms out, for a good 15 minutes just admiring the view. Mind-boggling indeed
