If you would like a ticket to ride on the monthly missions of this space-time star ship, you need to know that it docks monthly on the morning of the first Friday each month to take on board its intrepid crew. No previous knowledge of history, science or interstellar navigation required, just an enquiring mind and possibly, for the anxious, a packet of Kwells!
