REMEMBERED EARTH UNIVERSE

  • Cislunar: A Collection

    The Remembered Earth Universe, which covers mankind's move into near Earth space and the Solar System, begins with the Cislunar collection.


    Cislunar space is defined as that space around the Earth and Moon. The eight short stories in this book begin in Earth orbit and finish in a base on the Moon.


    From smart orbiting satellites that need an operator's help but can't express themselves. To a young lawyer who decides to go all in to help establish a radio telescope on the far side.


    The technology and science are near future and achievable. The time is the lifetimes of those being born today. And the stories are future fact.

    But the money people of such organizations may not have the best ideas for settlement as the settlers themselves. The governments and corporations may want to use robots and AI to minimize costs.

    But experience might not agree.

Sometimes engineering is just engineering.

Sometimes engineering is subjugated to company politics.

And sometimes engineering is not enough when faced with criminal intent.


View Point: A Short Story

The problem with space is it takes a team. Not a team of astronauts, but a team of technicians, a team of engineers, and a team of managers.

And different teams have different view points.


Space Truck: A Short Story

The rush to build a permanent Moon habitat was on.

Jose was project leader for the team that would land the equipment to make it happen.

Only there was one big problem, government. As hard as it was, regulators would make it harder.


Dark Side: A Novella

As a young lawyer, Josh was aware of the developing human presence in cislunar space, but only as a bystander.

He never dreamed he would ever have a role in that development.

He stepped up and failed, but in failure sowed the seeds of success.

After more than fifty years man was back on the Moon. But this time he was determined to stay.

And that meant building habitats with the AI-powered latest technology, such as 3D printers.

Multiplying settlements required more, reliable power.

An expedition to prepare one of the areas for development ran into the unexpected. The AI brought along had its own idea.

Especially to face off against the experts when they got it wrong.
