Good to about a light-second. Voyager’s figure is extrapolated from its speed, so give or take a few minutes. The rings round the first three dials track a signal sent the moment you opened this page.

From the 3026 desk

Every neighborhood gets a spaceport eventually. Ours got one early.

In 2022 we landed here. The garage door had twenty windows, and with the lights on behind them it looked like the side of a ship. On Halloween 2025 somebody filed a flight plan, and the street has been a port of call ever since.

A thousand years on, the door is a listed landmark and the banner over it has outlasted three governments and a comet. Ships still come in low over the hill. The neighbors still wave, and we still wave back.

Painting: the crew in orange flight suits and the dog, in front of the glowing twenty-pane door on Halloween 2025, beside the first saucer
Fig. 0 Halloween 2025, where it began: one saucer, one banner, the first crew and the dog. The banner that night: Crew morale high. Coffee supplies adequate.

Now boarding

The terminal · Gate 20 HULL/20 Spaceport A garage door with twenty windows turned out to be the side of a ship. Go aboard: a Clipper leaves every twelve minutes from dusk, and every seat is a window seat. Step aboard → Nightly through Halloween Planet Hopper A different world on the banner every evening.

Hail the Mothership

During the Spaceport finale, a small screen at Gate 20, down by the road, shows a four-character hailing code that changes every two minutes. Scan it or type it here, and the Mothership waves back. The code only shows at the gate, so you have to be there.

The Mothership is resting. Hailing opens at the show, during the Spaceport finale.

Departures

Shown in your calendar for the convenience of our ancestors, who are reading this now. Hello. You look well.

  1. The Spaceport season

    All October

    A passive show, all month long, on the banner: construction, first arrivals, and something enormous on approach. No tickets, no crowds, no schedule. Look up whenever you pass. Planet Hopper stamps your passport along the way.

    Open Planet Hopper

  2. Voyager 1 reaches one light-day from Earth

    Around mid-Nov

    Not our show, though we're outside waving. Launched in 1977, still talking, now a full day away by light. Please allow 24 hours for the wave to arrive.

  3. Thanksgiving

    Thu, Nov 26

    A thousand years on, we still argue about the stuffing. Plans to come.

  4. Holiday lights

    December

    Dates to come. The banner has asked for more lights; the electric bill has asked for fewer. Talks continue.
