Where are you and Teaser: 6/23/09

It's Tuesday, Where are you? is hosted on An Adventure in Reading.

I am in space on two separate missions. One is close to home (2001: A Space Odyssey). I have just got a boost from Jupiter on my way to Saturn and am beginning to suspect that there is something slightly off about my ship's main computer....
On the other "mission" (A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) I have just entered the orbit of Magrathea, a planet that has been dead for 5 million years and, until today, was considered simply a myth.


The Teaser is hosted at Should be Reading.

From A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

The introduction begins like this:
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen..." and so on.
