I asked about six weeks ago if you could give some newcomer “a little” of the history of the UT, and you posted a whole bunch of small print....*sigh*

Another quick, tiny review of the castle:

Then again, a review of the layout would be of service to our more recent arrivals. Most of them don't know where in space we are.

You might even want to join in. The Habitats A and B are open to entrepreneurship. Many people have set up shops there for handmade items and small restaurants.

Cheese and wine are also possibilities. We have a lot of time on our hands; it takes four years to make an orbit out here.
