Date today: March 30. 2170, earth time. Earth, a planet I have never been to. I, Chris Brunner, was born on xj-262. Today it is known as “Gobeithio” (welsh for hope). Why welsh? Because Alexander Rees (a Welshman working on Mars as an astronomer) had discovered the solar system in which the planet was found. First he discovered a sun- like star and simply called it
“Solaris”. Once it was possible to make the travel to the solar system, a group of astronauts and scientists made the trip. Their mission was to explore the solar system and its planets. Among them was xj-262. The group decided to land on it because of its size similar to Earth (most of the other planets are quit small in this system). They quickly discovered some moss-like vegetation and stared to drill. They found what they where hoping for: water!
A few decades later, new developments in technologies had made it possible for the first people to move and live on Gobeithio. Soon there began a real exodus from Earth. For over two decades people have been moving here.
Yet, we still count the time according to Earth’s calendar. I guess, it’s because over three quarters of the human race is still living there…
Hi guys, if anyone is listening to this, this is Michelle; oh boy, ok, this doesn’t have to be perfect; so I’ll just continue, I guess…

So now I’m on this long awaited „trip“. It’s going to be a very long and boring trip. But hey, I guess, that’s what I signed up for. It is amazing though to see the universe with all the stars and planets as we travel at an incredible speed!
March 31.
Tomorrow at last will be the day, when I will be able to fly through “the bridge”* to my parents home planet!
There, I’ll visit the “CERN” (by Geneva, Switzerland) where basic discoveries of the “aM-Sphere”** (one of which will bring me there) had been made. A group of scientists together with electro-mechanical engineers, found a way to use the electro-magnetic impulse in the atom, to speed up travel through space.
Finally I would be able to walk around even bear-feet if I wanted to and not like on Gobeithio where we need to be wearing those heavy shoes (the planets attraction isn’t as strong as the one on Earth) expect for when we find ourselves in our pressurized homes.
Back to The CERN. 23 years after the above mentioned discovery, Kei Yoshikori, a Japanese mechanical aero-scientist, found a way to use it. After gathering enough funds he, together with the help of a few friends, then constructed the prototype of the aM-Sphere. My dad had been among those friends. They had met at the WWF (world web forum) in Zürich. Quickly they became friends. They stayed in contact with each other. When Kei asked my dad to help him with his project, my dad was so excited about the project, that he quit his job at the CERN as a research-scientist, and went to help Kei who then lived in the “Silicon-Valley”. That is also where my dad had met my mom…
*”the bridge” consists of “impulse rings” (rings which are essential in space for the impulse necessary to get through space with the aM-Spheres from one ring to the other) that make something like a bridge between Gobeithio and Earth
**aM-Sphere: a vehicle based on the ‘atomic-magnet system’ developed by Kei Yoshikori (aM standing for ‚atomic-magnetism’)
April 1.
The moment has come at last. I’m preparing myself for my trip (that is, I have been preparing for some time; three years to be exact!). Since I wasn’t born wealthy, (my dad died in an accident in the water-well mines when I was little so my mom took care of me on her own) I had to work hard to gather the funds for my training - at least schooling was free. (The “Intergalactic-treaty” made sure of that)
But now the time was here! First I would be flown to a “spaceport-base” in a smaller version of the aM-Sphere. The base is 15 kilometers away from our planet, so that smaller vehicles would not collide with the big intergalactic ones. Also, the speed was limited until there, to avoid collisions.
