Yeah, it's one of those weird things that you don't think about until someone points it out and then it bothers you...

There was a Sci Fi story I read that was based on a space station where the people who had been there awhile said that you can always spot the newbies 'cause they always line up like magnetic poles.

That's hilarious. I have asked, with little success, how intergalactic or deep space starships navigate, given that the entire frame of reference is based on moving objects. Where is 'up'?, and how would I say 'meet me here'?
