What Everyday Life Would Be Like on a Generation Ship Headed for The Next Galaxy

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3enq56n... Aboard a fifty-eight-kilometer ship, a hundred thousand years into a crossing to the Andromeda Galaxy, the lights come up on schedule and someone puts the kettle on. The voyage takes twenty-five million years, longer than our species has existed. What does an ordinary Tuesday feel like in the middle of that? Tonight we walk through one full day aboard, then down through the ages of the crossing: the morning, the loop, the work, the window, the school, the law, the words, as home grows farther away in every way but the one you would expect. Get comfortable and let this long, quiet crossing keep you company tonight. Subscribe to Sleep in Orbit if you like falling asleep somewhere very far from Earth.
