Excerpt from The History of Space Flight, Exploration and Colonization, Volume X , 40th edition. Published by the Society for the Preservation of Space History, New Boston, Mars, 642 M.E.
The early days of the Great Expansion saw a rise in popularity of all things related to space and space travel, similar to the space craze that swept the United States in the middle 20th century.
The Space Scouts was a commercial organization that, according to the Space Scouts Handbook, “[F]ormed to train our future space explorers and scientists in the skills they’ll need to survive and thrive amongst the stars.”
The Space Scouts had a large membership, and many notable personages during the Great Expansion credited their success – and their survival – to the practical advice given in the Handbook, such as:
“Recalibrate UP when entering a gravity well….”
“Just because you can park somewhere doesn’t mean you should….”
“Use caution when approaching alien wildlife”,
“Not all alien wildlife looks like wildlife….”
