"Our generation ship never grows. Our faces—varied as the stars that swaddle us, far from everything we knew—never age. Do we learn, cut off from all the past? Do we change? I’ve asked myself these questions, and so many more, over the decades—centuries—since we began. I’ve filled stacks of notebooks, worn out the supplies I packed for the voyage."
