"Wh...no! If I'm off in space, how the hell do I get back home? No, no, no. I've got to stay around here so your mother knows where to find us, right?
But, like, at the moment? The ESA doesn't have their own spaceships. They've got to hitch a ride with...well, mostly Russia at the moment. But building a reusable spacecraft is expensive...
...And beyond what I can do now. But, as Lippencott pointed out, what's the point of going back to school if I don't learn something new? He pitched this as an...opportunity. To take a detour in life, without losing my place back home. And if the space thing doesn't interest me or doesn't work out, he has other suggestions and options.
Sometimes, I feel like he's the only here who actually gets me at all."
