The Scariest Moments in Space
Two images are rapidly changing before your eyes: our vast planet and a dark void. The Earth picture is shrinking by the second as you fly away from the spaceship into an endless vacuum. You're unsure of what to do next. The International Space Station orbits 250 miles above the Earth's surface, and spacewalks are a regular part of the astronauts' work there. Astronauts have spent over 11,000 hours in the black abyss to this day. Thankfully, no one has ever drifted away into outer space without returning, as depicted in movies. However, astronauts face other equally terrifying dangers during spacewalks. One such incident occurred in 1966 when Eugene Cernan wore a jetpack to perform repairs in outer space. The jetpack, which helps control flight in zero gravity, became extremely hot. Eugene wore special metal pants to protect himself from the heat, but they failed to redirect it away from his body.

The Trappist Adventure-Chapter 2
We both stared at the overhead skies for what seemed like hours, but was probably less. As a kid, I imagined being an astronomer or an astronaut. I would spend hours watching the heavens, star gazing, and dreaming of being out there amongst the planets. Now, I had nothing to say or share with the doctor.

Cloning Love
"You allowed the notion of Rick's disappearance to prevail for the past six years as a missing person?!" The revelation shook Doctor Marek Potock to his core. It took the old man decades to climb out of the hole wrought with scandal encapsulating his early career. Before cloning became commonplace, doctors with the same leanings as Marek treated clones like true-born humans; Potock even facilitated the resurrection of loved ones to bereaved families. The shifting government policies and popular opinions on the subject led to the banning of cloning and the termination of all illegal clones.

Phantom Lair of Secrets
Part 1 They expected ice and snowfall for most of the constant dark days spent traveling to their goal.

Gav and Bob Part 5: Faith and Martyrs
The planet below didn’t look like much. It was a big, blue ball, with splotches of green and brown, and a few splashes of white. It made Gav think of a marble he’d had a long time ago, and that he’d traded for a sweet stick when he and his tribe were done with their exercises for the day. He hunkered down in the gun cutter, watching through his porthole as the world got bigger, and bigger. He knew what was coming next, and he didn’t like it. Up in the pilot’s seat, Sheexa started flicking switches, and talking into her headset.
