Tommaso, astronauta dell'ESA, è il comandante della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, in missione biennale per studiare gli effetti del clima sul pianeta. A ogni expedition pubblica su Instagram foto scattate con una macchina fotografica Nikon, simbolo importante nella sua vita come lo è stato in quella di sua moglie Sara.
È osservando una foto che scopre la macchia sopra il golfo di Taranto, una malattia, forse dovrebbe avvertire qualcuno, ma nella sua testa ormai c'è solo il desiderio di colmare la distanza tra sé e casa. Un incidente, tuttavia, gli impedirà di partire, e il passato che l'ha spinto a lasciare la Terra inizierà a tormentarlo. Cercherà in Controllo Missione un punto di riferimento su cui riporre tutte le sue speranze, ma è presto per abbandonare la Stazione, prima deve affrontare l'ultima camminata spaziale, e imparare a lasciar andare qualcosa...
Scritto in un'originale seconda persona, la narrazione procede spasmodica tra attività extraveicolari e comunicati radio. Space Oddity non è un racconto di fantascienza, perché tratta con realismo e concretezza lo spazio in cui è ambienta la vicenda. Si tratta di un esplorazione, quella della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, ma anche, e soprattutto, di un viaggio introspettivo nella muta vastità del cosmo.

"Those aliens are not my concern, the Earth and her populations are. Now, Callisto of the Scout Regiment to Salutem, as a citizen of this planet and a soldier under my command-" "I stopped being a soldier a long time ago. And those aliens have done nothing to you, you didn't even know they existed until I told you about them. I joined this mission not because I was ordered to, but because I wanted to carve my name in history. But I will not mark my namesake as a murderer of the very first species we have found that is on par with human intelligence! If my legacy is to be the protector of those you refuse to acknowledge, then so be it." The room hissed and flowed with whispers and gossip between the different board members, like a waterfall being heard through thick earmuffs. The only voice to be clearly heard was Director Striker himself. "You are rooting for a lost cause, soldier. It is the manifest destiny of us humans to reach out and touch the stars. And if the only way to touch those stars is to sacrifice a few savages, then that is what we must do." Callisto felt her anger towards a man she once admired swell in her chest and wash through her veins with a burning fire. He was proposing mass genocide simply because he wanted what belonged to them. The wheel of history turns, but nothing is ever new it seemed. "Have you read a history book in your life, Director Striker? Manifest destiny is used a mere few pages before a genocide. It's not a motivation, it's an excuse." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fair warning: this is my very first original story so please be kind to my baby, she is a lifelong passion and a labor of love. •••COMPLETED••• •Please do not copy or post anywhere outside of these pages.

Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.

Have some fun reading! Yes, I like to fly. But I don't like to fly in space without any oxygen. Yes, I like seeing victory. But I don't like to be victorious over a friend and a sibling. Yes, I like to continue living. But if that means staying in the dark for millions of years... It's just not worth it. *~*~*~*~~*~*~* Now is a finished work Original pictures by NASA, edited by me, will work for a new cover
