Wish you were here! Now, you can send your friends postcards from one of the most extreme vacation spots in the universe—or at least convince them you've gone even though you stayed safe at home.

See the sights (or lack thereof)! Go past the point of no return! Get stretched into a giant noodle! Your friends will be jealous of your adventures at the event horizon when they receive this postcard. Or, more importantly, if they receive it.
