Have a play - I found Europa and then the sun. The latter was a mistake ...

Doesn't seem to do anything, for me at least.

Click on the triangle between the two people, then use the WASD keys ...

All I can see between the two people is a space rocket on a table supported by some framework. I have refreshed a few times but still the same.

The spaceship is the "triangle" - I was trying not to give too many spoilers!

You can actually click anywhere on the cartoon.

If you have a touchscreen (eg mobile) tap the triangle.

Just tried it on my phone. I have no idea where I ended up.

Trying to figure out where things are on this vast space of emptiness we call the solar system. What are the two/three dots that show up as your cruising the void?

Planets / moons.
I found Europa, and a dinosaur world, and dog planet, and ... loads of 'em: 2712: Gravity - explain xkcd[^]

Thanks for that. Having "reverse thrusters" helps tremendously. I did manage to find the edge of the universe, and land on it too.

Be careful if you do it "of the week" instead of "of the day"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

 These would never be consider jokes of the week. They barely make the day.

Thank you.
The worst is... now that you have corrected me I think "you moron, you already knew that..." but still I didn't use it

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to bad English - incorrectly trailing clauses is another bete noir of mine, you know like "It was decided by the Government that Christmas should be cancelled last night" instead of the correct "Last night it was decided by the Government that Christmas should be cancelled." The BBC News website is notorious for this kind of ignorant mangling of our language and generously regularly provides much better examples! 😡

Not a problem. I am not a native speaker and I gladly accept corrections

I know what you mean. There are "BBC" like sites in other languages too. And it annoys me too when I see some sites kicking the spanish gramatic and / or lexicon in the balls.
