Synopsis

Remembered Earth Short Stories Volume 2: A Collection

L1 Or Bust: A Cislunar Short Story: Book 3

There's a place for everyone, and everyone better know his place, at least aboard a spacecraft.

I felt like that too, until something seemed to be going wrong on the mission to save the first fuel depot built at the Earth-Moon system's L1 point. There was a problem, a total systems failure kind of problem, and the Commander and his First Officer seemed to not be making any progress solving it. And if they didn't solve it soon, the mission would be lost.

And that meant, I would be lost in space along with them. As the company's head engineer, I thought I could help if given the chance.

Problem was, the commander didn't want my help.

But I couldn't just sit there.

Guidance Box: A Cislunar Short Story: Book 4

Those that can, do, those that can't, sit it out.

But some times those that do can make a mistake. And if they don't have the integrity to face up to their mistakes, they may make the wrong decision and try to cover it up. That could cost lives.

The mission to test out a new lunar cargo and personnel lander had asked for volunteers and Richie and I volunteered. We weren't suppose to do anything, we, along with a few others, were just dead weight, representing future passengers. But something went wrong with the prototype lander and we crashed into the lunar surface.

All were alive but not all were safe. Richie and I had been too slow to make it to the control room and were stranded in our spacesuits. Problem was, it was the commander's mistake that stranded us and he didn't want to admit it, but Richie and I couldn't just sit tight and wait for him to eventually call for a rescue, our limited air supply wouldn't allow it.

The author's near-future universe and series, Remembered Earth: Cislunar, consists of adventures that will feature the probable science and technology of the next hundred years.

Hard Science Fiction - Old School.
