(Diamondback Explorer)

Today I tested a technique that I heard recently. They say FSD fuel blended with neutron star jet through a fuel scoop improves efficiency of FSD significantly and enable once the ship to jump much farther than with normal fuel. So I went to near neutron star.
I had never been to neutron stars. This is because neutron stars are dangerous because of their extremely high gravity and I had no specific reason to approach them. Therefore, I saw a neutron star with my own eyes for the first time.
My first impression of neutron star was fear. I feel this blue stream is disruptive. But I had to jump into this terrifying flow.
When the ship body touch the jet, the control of vessel is suddenly disturbed by gravity and pressure of stream. I tried to stabilize vessel in several second and then I decided to escape this dangerous zone because I got to know I succeed to collect enough neutron star gas.
But the moment when I open the throttle, the ship suddenly swayed and started to dive directly into center of neutron star. I cut off the power immediately and recover its balance, but I broke into the cold sweat.
As a result of this dangerous challenge, I achieved to jump more than 100 Ly at once.
This adventure is just beginning.
This is the first day since I left the area of human activity.
Before I left, I named my tiny lovely Diamondback Explorer "S.S. Feynman." This name comes from ancient Earthling Physicist. He had expanded frontier of science with just curiosity, therefore I think the name matches this ship, which explore the galaxy only with interest.
This adventure is just beginning.
