I've always found comfort in the vast emptiness of space.
Watching thousands of stars unobstructed by any atmosphere.
Watching the sunrise above the horizon of a nearby planet.
In those moments I really know why I'm travelling outer space.

Solitude. Beauty. Infinity.

They told us that this would come to an end someday.
Something would come and destroy what we hold dear.
After the day this came to pass nothing would ever be the same again.

Today is that day.
