A message from Carl Unix, Astronaut

"This is Lt. Carl Unix. I am inside escape pod A-12. I am alone and awaiting rescue. Its been 5 days since detachment from the Delta Gamma. Rescue beacon has been activated. Only a matter of time."

"With my training, I've been able to delay the effects of space dementia. I'm glad that the environmental support is still running, allowing me to keep a constant gravitational orientation. I'd have gone insane within an hour if I was floating around in here."

"I miss my fiance. I proposed to her the day before my launch date. She's going to kill me if I miss our wedding date"

"I don't even know how I got into this mess. Join the space corp. See the stars.... I should have went to school. I should have stayed on Mars."
