airiefairieDangerous Honors Terry Pratchett With Discworld Space Station
Last week, revered author Terry Pratchett, best known for his brilliantly witty, insightful, and incisive Discworld series, passed away after a battle with Alzheimer's. The makers of Elite: Dangerous have created a whole space station in his honor.
The space sim's latest patch added a location called Pratchett's Disc starport. If you want to check it out, it's in system HIP 74290. It's not a flat disc positioned on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle, but it'll do.
