It’s my first go at driving a space car! It’s only a small one but I’m travelling alone so I don’t need a space-utility vehicle or a spacion wagon.
I’ve got a terrible sense of direction, I get lost driving to my local mall, so what I’m about to do is quite risky! I got myself a sat-nav gps thing, so I should be okay – assuming I can work out how to use the darn thing!
Three hours later
It’s seven in the evening, nearly time to go. Odd isn’t it? Down here it’s easier to see where you’re going when it’s light. Up there, it’s easier in the dark! Right, sat nav’s sorted, I’ve got my seat belt on and ready, steady….GO!
Blimey, this voice is bossier than my normal one, I’d better do as I’m told!
Head upwards and in 147 million 948 thousand 607 miles, turn right at Mars.
Will do!
Continue for 74 million, 402 thousand 197 miles until you reach Venus.
Okay.
Circle 270 degrees and continue forward for 81 million 4 thousand and 80 miles.
So far so good, or very far so good!
A long time later
You have reached your destination, for your health’s sake remain in your vehicle and ensure windows and doors are firmly closed.
Well here we are, on Uranus. I remembered to be careful how I pronounced it! I can’t say I’m very impressed. Not much of a view, infact it’s really dull.
Oh well. ‘Sat-nav, take me home’.

Helluva ride, tell you what! Best to remain inside vehicle, methinks… Nicely done, Keith!
Thanks, Dale, I felt quite dizzy just writing it!
I can well imagine!
That’s some ride Keith. Fly around the universe, but come home when you need a rest. Thanks for joining in.
Home sweet home!
Exactly. 👍🏼
Well told- but not a journey I want to accompany you on- Sat-nav or no.
Can’t say I blame you!
Wow, that was a fun ride. What a lovely experience… in a space car (broom-broom).
Everyone should have one – and probably will have one day!
Hahaha! Not your usual travel pix, dear Keith. Think I’ll skip this trek!
Ah, to be able to pop on over to another planet, just to see the sights. Maybe someday, but not in my day.
…whatever sights there are!
wouldn’t that be fun ?
Yes and no!
Cruising around the solar system could be fun — but you’d best leave GPS at home. It’s not 100% even here on Earth; if it sends you to Mars, then back to Venus, to find Uranus, that should tell you something.
I’d probably take a space atlas!
I hope you are back on earth safely by now.
Did you get s chance to visit Neptune ?
What about poor Pluto ? Did you ignore it as the other Astrophysicists?
I am, but I didn’t! I promise I’ll go to Pluto!
so you’re driving a space car – how’s the navigation system on that thing? 🚀
