Perspectives & the Mission

  This month, we present two short stories. In the first one, Perspectives, a routine mission is suddenly changed by a chance encounter in deep space. This story evolved out of one of David’s writing assignments at school. In our second story, entitled, The Mission, the leader of a multi-generally space craft reports their research findings after nearly 50 years of silence. This story grew out a conversion around Steven Hawking’s comments on the possibility of Alien Life, made at NASA’s the 50th anniversary.
