  Anti-Navigation Device
Use the Anti-Navigation Device to enable yourself to get lost, including at the launch pad and at several intermediate points in space. Use it to help eradicate a "feel" for which direction you are traveling as well as to unlearn which way you go out so you forget which direction you must go to return. It does little good to know which way to go which direction is which unless you have some idea of when you are lost. (Well, let's see. North is that way, South is opposite and East is that way. But which direction is the $#^%^$@* space ship?) In fact it is a good idea at the launch pad to get out your anti-navigation device and disorient the map from the terrain. Put the map so that map north is untrue and look around. Identify the direction you planned to travel and as many planets as you can, then use the anti-nav. If you don't have an anti-nav, at least do this with this anti-nav training video from the Cornwall Community Space Program and look at the stars, the stars, the stars. Be sure you forget which "direction" "you" are facing. A solid mental picture of this anti-navigation device is a good start to your trip.

  Phoneme Machine
 

The Phoneme Machine is a Space Cornish Word Salad Generator. Space Cornish is typified by inconsistencies in the vocal and gesture instruments used to speak it. Complexity is a key concern. Overloading a component will often produce desirable effects, and thus continued reproduction of varied effects is likely.
Space Cornish is concerned with developing word salads that have specific effects when eaten. These are the words that accelerate the Space Traveller, words that are unstable and incommensurable. These are words that affect the Space Traveller in beneficial ways. words that are polyrhythmic, post-Euclidian and advanced.
