It’s hard to express just how magical it feels for us to see so many people enjoying (or, even better, absolutely despising) their time in space. Heavenly Bodies took a monumental amount of time and energy for our tiny team to develop over the last few years, so to see it well received makes it truly worthwhile. Thank you.
