) I just won't be applying for a job at NASA anytime soon. I know, people will tell me I need therapy, but I am a well-adjusted human when I am not floating around in deep space, thank you very much. Finally, I hit the system button and pulled the headset off my head. I scaled the Universe a bit bigger to see a larger Earth, but then I stopped, because the thought of having a huge Earth tower above me made things even worse. I pulled the Earth close to me and played around with it.


I decided to keep going, but I somehow couldn't relax anymore. Looking out across the solar system made me feel like this blackness around me was really never-ending and like I am truly the only being in this void. I suddenly felt like a child again, when I was scared of the darkness and what might be lingering inside it. And that feeling was just completely overwhelming. I played a bit with Universe Sandbox 2 in VR before, but It was always when my wife and daughter were around, and I never had the time that I really wanted to invest into it, so I decided to wait until I have some real free time.įinally, today, I had a few hours alone and decided to start US2.īefore, when my family was around, I always still had the feeling that someone else was there, outside of the endless darkness that surrounded me, but now I was completely alone.
