Lost in Space

Nice one, Cap'n! Just what I hoped the answer would be — and then to my delight, it was!

Of course, I loved it! :D

Nice little twist on the last step. Thanks, Capn!

Really fun puzzle, thank you!

Nice one! Elegant construction, and love the "star-burst" or cross-hair patterns made by the theme entrees.

Nice one! Thanks, Cap’n.

Fun. I WAS lost for a bit. Loved the mechanism and clues.

First I saw one of the across, then the other, then finally the downs.

Enjoyed it, thanks!

Very nice puzzle, Capn! Although I think you messed up the grid entry for 16A -- had a hard time cramming ADAMA in there, but I made it work. Thanks for the Monday puzzler!

Not sure I get the ordering though....

Oh... wait. Now I do of course! One of the curses of doing metas on-line. Not seeing the forest for the trees. !NICE! Placing. Makes for a brilliant puzzle. Missing the spacing... makes for an adequate but meh puzzle. But the placing... brilliant!

Ah thé farce was strong with this one from a die hard Star Wars fan I thank you. A well executed well filled CR special!

Still fun and impressive the second time around, Cap'n!

Good thing CrossHare allows multiple attempts. Tried SPACE BETWEEN, SPACE JAM, and a few others, before doing the classic: first letters, of course! And are these two X-wing fighters? ( :

DAMN.....awesome puzzle and great mechanism.

Very nice!

Amazing puzzle! Needed that hint at 63A to figure out which letters to extract after seeing what can go into the two boxes

Loved this! The force is with you!

A beauty! Thanks Capn Rick!

Great construction, Cap'n Rick! Thanks for the puzzle!

lol needed the second hint to persuade me to properly execute the first thought I had on Monday morning. I think I was just focusing on the accrosses in the wrong areas of the grid and somehow managed to miss both AIR and AGE. Even when I was looking with renewed purpose this morning it took me a few beats to see those for some reason. And then another few to find the downs. TRIPLE and ROCKET were last. Very nifty puzzle and impressive construction, as always. Thanks. :)

BTW Don’t know why I didn’t think of the “first letters” in the first place …. Duh

Had the “stars” early on but struggled with the next step! Nice aha! Thanks, Cap’n !

Tried really hard to not see the answer even when it was staring me in the face, but I finally had to give in. I guess you could say I was star-st[r]uck.

Super fun!

Is it Monday already? Must have spaced out. Sorry for the delay and thanks for the meta and CREPES, Cap'n Rick!

Thanks!
