Unlucky
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I ponder these words from Viewing Area 112. Twenty-four young scientists, pilots, officers, explorers and I quietly study the first probe that has returned. It floats just twenty feet past several layers of protective glass. Onboard is the first surface sample collected from an ocean 30,000 miles below. The planet we arrived at two days ago is a mess of lavender and green swirls. Sensors on unmanned probes that came before us had trouble discerning exactly where the edge of the ocean and atmosphere met. The third, and final, deep space probe never returned.
