Daily Moon Dispatch – 21 October 2026
The Moon is waxing gibbous as seen from Earth.
The morning terminator has reached Conrad Station.
The Sun has just risen at Conrad Station. The long lunar day is beginning.
Outside, hard golden light is returning to the regolith. After two weeks of Earthlight and vacuum black, the surface is bright again. Systems that spent the night on stored power can recover. Life still moves carefully — the lag has not changed — but the station is no longer living entirely indoors under artificial light.
Milton Johnson is on the surface the way a man who learned it the hard way is on the surface — counting inertia, watching dust, and remembering the near-misses that older hardware never advertised.
A near future moon colony thriller, still playing out at Conrad Station.

The Joyful Moon is still watching…
and the past refuses to stay buried.

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. |
