Josh isn't the first Earthling to talk about space travel as being limited to the moon (and only a few times!) and an orbiting space station. "If Earth is real in my universe, they'd have to have space travel. Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get there in the first place."

The change in conversation topic is welcome. It's a lot easier to talk about than scary first times in the Nexus. "It's too bad you don't more than that. Space travel is fun."

She listens intently to Josh's explanation, trying to learn as much as she can about Halloween, and Earth culture by extension. "Did your friends pick hoagies because of the alliteration?" She smiles a little, amused by the possibility.
