If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

But you know, if you know anything at all about space travel you'd know it was a hoax.

And you've found reality show contestants generally to be the educated and astute types?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well yeah, but how many people don't know that you're weightless while in earth orbit?

It reminds me of the parody of Playboy that a guy in my dorm thought was real. Lady Di was the nude centerfold. I mean, c'mon. If you think of the implications of Lady Di posing nude for Playboy, you'd realize it didn't happen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But.... but it's Wrong!

Sometimes Wrong Things must be Watched. It's just the way they are.

You should send it into space and sell the footage to Channel 4.

Gah, look at all the pretty colors! [link]

My cats are mildly interested and then disgusted by the wet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The bubbles are very pretty, but I'm fixating on the idea that the colour goes away with a) friction, b) exposure to water or c) exposure to air.

That's so damned specific and cool.

It is a really cool concept.
