I don't know if you've ever taken off in a plane from somewhere like Gatwick. There's this moment, about thirty seconds into the flight, where you get enough height and you look down and England has become a cheery parody of itself.

A crashed colony spaceship that set off from Earth some time in the late 70s or early 80s, the Fedora has now been stuck, for about... Read more ›
