So board games are all well and good — I ain't got a thing against 'em — but what this ship really needs is a way to play some honest to God competitive sports. And when I say competitive sports, I mean baseball. I'd settle for basketball in a pinch, but baseball's the great American pastime for a reason.

Might just be I’m getting to that stage where I'm starting to climb the walls from not being able to do much of anything. Not that Saldanha Bay was exactly a thrill ride, but at least you could stretch your legs without bumping into bulkheads.

Anyway. If any of y'all can figure out a way to play baseball in space, I'll owe you one so big it'll have interest on it.

[…] why are they done away with if they’re deemed necessary?

Because after 18 we’re considered adults and in theory Mom or Dad can’t couldn’t legally stop us from being stupid. Most swap to a clear visor to protect the eyes.

It seems […] not very prudent. Men from age 18 on aren’t exactly celebrated for their emotional regulation skills.

There’s risk in everything. Could get hit in the cheek by a football or a baseball and get damage too.

The people yearn for concussions, is that it?

[jetting]

No. Are you against sports?

[adequacies]

No. I was only pointing out that risk isn’t mitigated just because you’re older.

[jetting]

Yet here we are, on a ship in space.

Well, I’d choose the risk of space radiation over being involuntarily Veiled again.
