'voyage to mars' - this journal, in case you didn't know - is now the number one Google resource for, well, 'voyage to mars'. If you're planning a voyage to Mars, then - or a 'trip', a 'trek', a 'journey' - you're in the right place, mate, you're sorted.

Go on. Ask Google. Amazing, innit?

(I am easily impressed, like butter in the sun.)

It's raining, I'm compiling a list of recommended reading material for the TLJ.s designers - what comics and novels to check out to get in the right state of mind - and I'm simultaneously working on a document (there's never just one, never) that looks at the story from a new perspective, from the point-of-view of two supporting characters. Why? To attempt to crack a difficult problem. Often, it's easier to see what's wrong - or, in this case, what can be done better - by approaching the story from a different angle. With a story as complex and complicated as this one (in a good way, of course), there are so many different angles of approach, it makes my head spin. Playing it, however, will be an entirely different experience. The complexity will be spaced out over a dozen (or so) chapters, and it will flow smoothly. Promise.  ¶ 21:46
