Armstrong

Its time to give my ants proper names!

AntWorks® suggest the following: "If you decide to name your ants, you might choose Armstrong as a surname".
Now AntWorks® need to be funny to sell their product. Their reasoning goes like this: Ant workers can carry up to 50 times their own weight blah blah blah (and all the crap you learnt at school), so they are very strong, "armstrong" ha ha ha.

I will call them "Armstrong" for a different reason: At the end of the day, they are "space ants" and as we all know: Neil Armstrong made space history. He was the first person ever to NOT set his foot on the moon (because the moon landing was a fake).

This is why I will call my ants "Armstrong".

Of course it is a bit odd to give them all the same name, but for me they all look the same and I don't know how to distinguish them so what else can I possibly do?

The Space Ant Baby

View of the baby's birthplace

It is healthy, tiny and cute.
We welcome the new citizen of earth. Everybody is happy. The Expedition I crew also sends out the very best wishes.
Unfortunately I cannot provide any picture of the toddler yet, and when I finally have the opportunity to see it in two weeks from now, it will most likely be a grown up.

Breaking News: Space Ant Born

This just came in (my girlfriend called me): A small space ant baby was born.
I will post as soon as more info is available. Stay tuned...

RR.II.PP.

Two more are gone.

They are now somewhere else. This is how things are.

(They seem to prefer to say ciao in the Zacatón area. I do not know whether this is simply their favourite retirement place, or because this part of the habitat may lack oxygen due to rockfills from construction works.)

St Mark's Place

Lets not forget to mention that the crew cleaned up a little bit in tunnel C2 and removed some deposits, which made it finally possible to inaugurate the habitat's fourth channel.
I name it St. Mark's Place, which actually is not a place but a famous street in Manhattan. I hope this is not confusing.

Super Bonk

Back from my Easter trip to No's ant farm, my own crew surprised me with an architectonic milestone: the western flank of Avenida Atlântica reached Anatolia Den.

This has far reaching implications: from now on it is possible to go from any loch to any other loch in the system without the need to traverse the Highlands. For example you could even go from Loch Eck at the very west to Loch Dungeon at the very east . That's cool and convenient!

Highway 1 and Avenida Atlântica are now connected and form a truly intercontinental highway (sort of).

A historic achievement which was only possible because of the hard work of each individual ant.

Per formiga ad astra!
