Daily Moon Dispatch — 9 Jun 2026

Do you need more Moon joy today?

The Sun is set­ting at Con­rad Sta­tion. After weeks of the long lunar day, the gold­en disk now touch­es the hori­zon, paint­ing the regolith in deep oranges and length­en­ing shad­ows into dra­mat­ic streaks that stretch toward the habi­tats. Deputy Gen Miller stands watch as the light slow­ly fades, know­ing that lunar night — and all its chal­lenges — is about to begin.

We are now 41 days from the release of Mask of the Joy­ful Moon on July 20, 2026.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon pow­er­ful­ly con­tin­ues the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga—a hard sci­ence fic­tion sto­ry fea­tur­ing a lone deputy, a bro­ken sher­iff, shift­ing alliances, and secrets that the long lunar night will ful­ly reveal.

This week on the Moon:

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.
