[ joe watched the moon landing, entranced by how far technology and science had come in such a short span of time, so being on a spaceship is magnificent for him, if not slightly tarnished by not being able to share it with nicky. it hasn't lost it's appeal and he spends a fair amount of his time with his head pressed against a window, watching space ripple out before him. and yet, despite the wonder and grandeur, it does remind him of their years at sea, instead of being surrounded by the unknowable wine-dark sea, he is surrounded by the unknowable expanse of starlight. it gives him an ease on the ship, despite how new he is to the crew, bounding into the galley like an enthusiastic puppy. ]
