Digital Times Early Morning News
Hot off the internet: Our Star reporter Rachel Keller, brings us new and interesting news bytes. NEXT GENERATION INC. Has finally achieved what they have been dreaming about for the last 50 years. They have managed to launch a colony ship, fully stocked with DNA mapping of every major Earth species; 250 thousand colonists in stasis tubes, with robotics and digitized citizens to guide their multi-generation journey. Without announcing a destination Next Generation estimates that the trip will take the ship almost 435 years at full thrust to reach their destination. Damn just thinking of sleeping for that long makes me tired.
Guess we’ll be hearing more about that in the future. G’day Mates.

News news and more news
Hi Rachel,
I HAVE to assume here that this is no small town newspaper, instead of who won the bake-off or 'Elmer's Fix-it Shop Burns to the Ground', all these stories have appeared above the fold. (Of my laptop)
I just keep wondering where this story will go?
with love,
Hope
with love,

Hey Rachel!
Where are you finding all these stories? Is it all just intuition and instinct? You've got quite a nose for news so keep sniffing.
I wonder if you're digitized. That could explain how you come up with all this stuff. Perhaps I'll see you twinkling high and bright as a star in the sky of cyberspace.
Thanks and please keep dishing it out. I can take it. :)
