Not just space. We put people on the moon before — ( yeah, she knows what you're gesturing about ruby, it's all good) — and sent crews even further in search of new resources.
( actually not clarke's first rodeo with this sort of mix of confusion and awe, and while not at all smug, she's still letting out a good natured snort. just a hard exhale through her nose, comfortable in this position now, and well practiced in her responses for it. )
I grew up thinking the only survivors of the first nuclear apocalypse were the few hundred people on board the 12 national space stations in orbit. Eventually all twelve of them banded together into one big space station, and 80-ish years later, that's where I was born.
