After stopping and starting once or twice over the course of a year, crashing and nearly dying on an extremely high G planet, mistaking a white dwarf for a neutron star and nearly burning to a crisp, and making as few civilized pit stops as possible- yesterday I finally arrived in Colonia.
Next week I start my next journey to Sag A.
Do it! It took an extremely long time for me, but I was also stopping and exploring constantly so that added a ton amount of time to the trip.
The combination of gratification, pride, and relief I felt completing that final jump to Colonia is hard to describe.
And the amount of stuff I FD’d along the way is mind-boggling. 100% worth it.
