Sometimes, it’s just impossible to see any way back or forward, nor even anybody you can compare notes with to try and figure out which way to go. Not even which way, but which way to where, and on what possible manner of propulsion? At times like these, even great news doesn’t have sufficient mass to avoid being deflected off into space, and you just stare at a fork in the road, wondering how long the fuel tank will allow you to sit idle, wasting resources and time.
The James Webb telescope is roughly 1,500,000 km from our planet right now. If only I could be so lucky.

I recognize so much of this in myself. I don’t have an answer for you.
