Make found these wonderful floating space robots designed to fly in formation in zero gravity. How do they do it? These things, called Spheres, use compressed air to spin in place – but not as fast as you see here.

Obviously these things will eventually tell us that we can’t go outside the ship to check out the broken-down harvester, but we’ll ignore them and then find out something terrible. Get used to them while you still have time!
