Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 20 July 2026

Do you need more Moon joy today?

Today is a his­toric day on two worlds.

57 years ago today, humans first set foot on the Moon dur­ing Apol­lo 11. And today, Mask of the Joy­ful Moon has offi­cial­ly launched on Kin­dle — con­tin­u­ing the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga right here on the lunar frontier.

The long lunar night still holds Con­rad Sta­tion in its grip, but the sto­ries keep mov­ing for­ward. Deputy Gen Miller patrols the dim­ly lit cor­ri­dors while the shad­ows grow longer and the stakes climb higher.

Stories

The sto­ries of Torn MacAlester are sci­ence fic­tion, where the sci­ence is well-ground­ed. I inten­tion­al­ly made any devi­a­tions for spec­u­la­tive pur­pos­es. To main­tain max­i­mum real­ism, I restrict the scope of these deviations.

Articles

I write arti­cles of sci­ence fact and sci­ence fic­tion. The arti­cles here span the knowl­edge of mod­ern sci­ence and the spec­u­la­tions of fic­tion. I try to caveat every­thing that is an assump­tion. You will find arti­cles about space­flight, the pos­si­bil­i­ties of alien con­tact, and descrip­tions of tech­nol­o­gy used in my stories.
