Launch!

Here are the short pieces following the launch of SSI's first Mars mission. The point of view swaps between the four characters involved.

Launch!

'Doubt'

Briefly, here's part of the new short story, again from Marco's point of view. And it's only a few weeks until launch.

It's called: Doubt

Coming soon.... ?

Just in case anyone thinks that I've given up on this blog, I can announce that sometime in the next couple of weeks I hope to post another portion of the New World Rising story. So watch this space ;)

Meanwhile, you could go over to the SpaceX site and see how quickly fact is catching up with fiction. The intrepid rocket engineers are hoping to carry out the first test launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket, along with all the complications that come with strapping three Falcon 9 cores together. That is a lot of thrust happening. Will the FH make it to orbit? Will the 3 cores fly back to Earth to be reused? And what was the idea of launching a red Tesla Roadster into deep space?

Here's a link where the webcast should eventually appear:
