Absolutely fucking fantastic! Or should I say groovy! Thank you for participating in my event.
Wow. That was really, really good. At first, I thought the whole space hippie thing was going to be a load of camp, but damn if you didn't just nail it. Great stuff.
As a child of the 50's, and a huge fan of Stranger in a Strange Land, I just reveled in the correct use of Grok. Well done.
Excellent. You reach, brother.
Zaphod would surely approve of you borrowing his quote.
Thanks ArdentHemingway, but are you accusing me of plagiarism? 😉 (I couldn't resist throwing in that Easter egg. There are a few others too)

Thanks too, dwoelfle. Grok was the only thing a took from Stranger in a Strange Land for this story (other than the free love aspect). Glad I used it right.
.
And thanks, Rob_Royale. Glad you enjoyed it. I tried to limit the camp to only the hippie language.

Omenainen: hopefully this is just the first of many space hippie stories for your event.
Good one ...more ? What ever happened to all the hippys ? The commune life style always sounded intersting maybe something i should start on my 5 acres in the mountians north of spokane just need a couple like minded people ..Hmmm U grok ?
Oh, I grok, firstsearcher55. There are still communes and places that carry on hippie culture, like "The Farm" in Tennessee. The name of the ship in this story I took from another community that's still going in Spain.
Damn, that was amazing! Loved it. As a man, that was fun to watch and virtually participate in. Thank you!
You're welcome, Anonymous. Happy to hear you enjoyed the story. It really makes my day/week/month to get a comment like that. Thanks! This story is my first attempt at science fiction, so I wasn't sure if it would work.
