Daily Moon Dispatch – 28 August 2026
A Full Moon shines over Earth tonight.
Local noon at Conrad comes about two days after Full Moon.
The Sun is riding high over Conrad Station. The regolith is brightly lit with short, crisp shadows. Systems are under full solar load, and the station feels awake — yet water, power margins, and the three-day lag have not eased.
Lunar noir hard science fiction: justice is personal, and backup is three days away.
The Daily Moon Dispatch continues to range across the whole Fabulae Lunae series. Any of the three books and any of their central characters may take the lead on a given day.

StoriesThe 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. |
ArticlesI 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. |
