Visited Uranus again after what must be thirty years, and I'd forgotten how humbling it is to float above something so thoroughly indifferent to human ambition. That absurd axial tilt still catches me off guard — ninety-eight degrees of cosmic eccentricity, spinning like a top knocked sideways by some ancient collision. The outer colonies have rendered it a footnote, a blue-green marble too distant and inhospitable to justify the fuel expenditure, but there's something oddly comforting about surveying a world that asks nothing of us and receives nothing in return.
