365.132 I always wondered…

…what folding space looked like. Well, maybe not always, but for quite some time. And I’m sure it looks nothing like that strange-honking scene in that awful Dune movie… Or maybe this is a Base Ship in orbit above Caprica… Or it could be something else, something of the actual world, which wouldn’t surprise me much, …
