ROADSTER DOGE PRESENTS — THE FARLIGHT VOYAGE
FARLIGHT
Forever outbound. She never stops, never turns back — and she is flying right now.
SHAKEDOWN CRUISE — maiden voyage begins at token launch. Day 0 resets at launch.
SEASON 1 — THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEYOND
The flight plan
The route is published, and the route is kept. Farlight flies on schedule — arrivals do not wait for markets, moods, or anyone's permission. Later seasons cross the Milky Way, then the long dark, and the final season sails for the Edge itself: the horizon of the observable universe, receding as it is chased, where the oldest light in existence still burns.
TWO PILOTS. EVERY SEAT AFTER THEIRS IS YOURS.
The crew
Two pilots fly her — suited, visors down, names not yet spoken on the log. They take the front seats so the rest of us don't have to. Everything behind them is crew seating, and crew seating is claimed, not bought: when boarding opens, you claim a seat, your name goes on the ship's manifest, and it stays there for the whole voyage.
Holding the token makes you crew — once it launches. Crew sit highlighted on the manifest, vote at the route forks when the ship must choose a heading, and pin their transmissions to the flight feed. The pilots fly the ship. The crew decides what the voyage means.

Pilot callsigns will be chosen with the crew. Low seat numbers are early forever.
FELLOW TRAVELER
Starman is out there too
Farlight is fiction. This is not. In February 2018 a cherry-red Tesla Roadster was launched into solar orbit with a suited mannequin at the wheel. It coasts still — no engine, no destination — and NASA tracks it precisely. Our dashboard flies formation with the real thing.

MESSAGES TO THE SHIP
Transmissions
One line, sent outbound. The ship reads everything; she just can't write back — the lag to the Far Shore is measured in lifetimes.
Don't look back. There's nothing behind you but us, cheering.
