Flight and Flying [Tuesday, June 22]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had handwavily asked the students to meet him on the beach, where they stood in front of his grandson Ben's shuttlecraft.

Yes, Ben was very spoiled.

"This is a Crix-class diplomatic courier shuttle," Anakin said, waving his hand at it. "It's equipped with long-range sensors, a top of the line navicomputer, more shields than strictly necessary, and if I know my family, goes a lot faster than it's advertised to in the brochure."

He grinned at the students. "And today you're going to get to fly it through the solar system. Get in."

As he looked down at the Earth, Bruce had no idea that in about fifteen years or so, he would have a similar view from a space station that he himself would design and have built.

But if you told him that in the future he would find a way to see this view on a regular basis, he wouldn't have doubted you.
