Space · by Lucas Dubois · 2026-09-22

A tiny win from Toronto that made my week after 22 tries

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. astronomy got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Space feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

Good reminder that boring can be good. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.
