"Ignite the ion thrusters Cosbell, the long stretch of your journey begins now."
Cosbell did so and felt. . . nothing. The ion thrusters accelerated slowly, so his job now was to hibernate and enjoy the ride. The cute little spacecraft made its way out of the solar system, towards Proxima Centauri, with only emergency, and periodic, scheduled communications online.
The gentle hum of the ion thrusters was the only sound Cosbell had to accompany him as he nibbled his freeze-dried lettuce, and drifted off to sleep, and out among the stars.
