I've spent hours and hours flying around the nearby stars.
Eventually I got familiar with the shape of local stellar space, the 3D placement of stars as they hang upon the cosmos...
And now when I look up at the night sky I *feel* the distance between me and the stars... and know the shape of the constellations between us...
At times like those I am overcome with an emotion of connection to my local space. I feel giant, as if become a Titan straddling continents.
