Albatross chick leaves nest at 6 months old. Won't touch land again for 6 years. Scientists tracked one named Luna - she circled the globe 3 times before her first landing. 120,000 miles without rest. Sleeps while gliding, eats while flying, survives storms that sink ships. Wings lock in place - zero energy spent. Just wind and time. When she finally returned, researcher found her standing exactly where she hatched. Navigated back across an entire ocean using memory alone. Then she found the mate who'd left 6 years before her. They've been together 40 years now. Never apart. Some bonds survive even the sky.
