you were young and didn't understand intercontinental hyper ballistic missiles would be just right for apocalypse

hello Sharri Lewis
hello Fred Rogers
hello Lynne Thigpen

why did you die?

Yuri Gagarin: he wants to take his childhood idols to outer space, y'know when the missiles start to fly.
A mystery: no - he wants to orbit the Earth and fall out of time back to 1992. like you did, except it wasn't 1992, and you didn't fall back, but forward.
Yuri Gagarin: what was 1992 like?
Yuri Gagarin: i'm not done, because i need to know why 2028 tastes so peppery. where does the end begin. how do i meet the end of a rainbow. where is Excalibur. what comes after death.. why did i appear on a Lufthansa jet in 2028 fourteen minutes from Belo Horizonte. are you anatomically male or female?
A mystery: who was Yuri Gagarin other than a time traveling humanized Laika of the Soviet space program.
A mystery: you left your hat and newspaper on a Lufthansa flight to Berlin that left on February 28, 1960. i thought you would get that joke. hey, Belo Horizonte looks nice, yeah?
Yuri Gagarin: Бог ?
A mystery: almost.
