Field notes
The described campaign makes time and distance part of the decision-making: research consumes years, ships can remain in flight for years, and colonies face exposure, storms, and shortages.

The page also distinguishes spacecraft-derived Solar System surface maps from AI-generated impressions of distant worlds; the beta is still described as forthcoming.
