The universe was simply too vast.
So vast that the distances between planets, and between galaxies,
were often measured in astronomical units.
These astronomical units with their enormous values
were simply far too distant for ordinary humans.

This commander did not feel ashamed, timid, or inferior because of his seemingly ignorant question.
On the contrary, he bravely admitted his shortcomings.
He also humbly and openly accepted everyone's strange looks and their low, mocking
