it's cool but i was expecting some kind of visualization, how do my 1.2 trillion km look on a map?

also there are some cursors with question marks but they don't espatially ;) call the FAQ, do they? firefox on win10

valid point on the visualization. i tried to map it initially, but the depressing reality is that even at 1.2 trillion km, we're basically a stationary dot on a galactic scale. a map just looked like a blank screen, so i went with the starfield to try and convey speed instead.

re: the cursors that's definitely my bad UX. they are just hover tooltips (standard title attributes), but setting the cursor to help (?) makes them look like clickable buttons. i'll swap that out so it's less confusing. thanks for the firefox check.
