Artemis-ii crew: We’re back from the far side! We have to tell you about weird glowing portal we passed through. But first, what’d we miss?
CAPCOM: Welcome back, Integrity. We have President Trump on the line with some words of congratulations!
Artemis-ii: Haha that’s a good one, but April Fools Day was last week. Go ahead and put President Ocasio-Cortez on!
CAPCOM: …
Artemis-ii: Oh no!

@ptoothfish Similar concept to "The Infinitive of Go" by John Brunner, where they make teleportation portals, but when you go through, you are in a different world, or relative to the world you are a different person.
