Daily Moon Dispatch – 29 September 2026
The Moon is waning gibbous as seen from Earth.
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.
Deputy Gen Miller continues her patrols through the habitats and across the surface. Short shadows, long trails, and the same thin line between a working station and whatever would replace it.
Moon deputy hard science fiction from the trails around Conrad Station.

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. |
