3 Weeks Until Launch. Points of Origin, the structure of Vastland, and getting a graduate degree for a half-twist. Follow along when the story begins on September 1st.
All these years later, I now discover that story was about the first time you operated the Humvee?! I love that story! I tell it to others because of how you spun it to me, yet the initial detail was omitted upon the premier telling! That makes it even better.
I meant to say this last week, but forgot to come back and leave a comment. Looks like I had to travel backwards a bit to fit it in. ⭕
The möbius strip has always been such a fascinating idea. Something that is explained mathematically in two dimensions can exist in a three dimensional space. Also the serpentine belt in a car is shaped like a möbius strip. So the analogy with driving a vehicle is very fitting.
Now that you mention it, I recall reading somewhere that conveyor belts do the same thing, since they allow both sides to wear evenly. I'm curious to look at the plot structure of Vastland with this in mind. A way to express wear on both sides of the Loop... Sharp eye, thanks for pointing this out.

Sounds like someone with some experience moving through the Loop...
