So a few days ago on the International Space Station,

let me pause here and just note, yeah, we have an International Space Station.

You do, I do the world does.

We just take maternity for granted, oh so often.

We have this marvel, an outer space, or being us as the name applies.

I guess it would be like in 1492, many a Castilian would say,

oh right, that Columbus guy, see still out there?

You know, because we're here, we're here in the old world.

We got a little thing called the Inquisition.

Can't really think about Columbus that much.
