Major Spoilers Poll of the Week\\n
When it comes to space travel, there are a couple of routes you can go. The first is the safe route, which means it takes 100 years or more to put a colony on the Moon, which is a good thing, because everyone knows the Moon blew up in 1999. The other is to seek out strange new worlds, and make a buck or two by smuggling spice for the Hutts. The second is a bit more reckless, but can lead to so much more in the end. Which brings us to the Major Spoilers Poll of the Week!\\n
