A strange little side quest
Among Shooter may feel immediate, but the ideas around space have been evolving for a very long time. The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of about 385,000 kilometres, and surface gravity there is roughly one-sixth as strong as Earth's. A second detail makes the picture even better: Space Invaders arrived in 1978 and helped turn electronic games from an arcade curiosity into mainstream entertainment. So a round of Among Shooter is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer space timeline.
