Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say, I remember the first time I heard that saying. I was on a mining vessel, helping to extract minerals from an asteroid. We were in the middle of nowhere, and the only noise was the sound of our machines. Suddenly, one of the miners started screaming. It was a blood-curdling scream, and it echoed through the ship. The other miners rushed to help him, but it was too late. He had been sucked out into the vacuum of space. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But we all knew what happened to him. There is no way he could have survived for more than thirty seconds in that temperature with no air to breathe. And then there was this terrible silence as we stared at each other in shock; it felt like everyone was holding their breath waiting for someone else to make the next move. That's when I realized how quickly you can be taken away from life if you're not careful...

In space, nobody can hear you scream. Or so they say. But that doesn't stop people from trying. The vacuum of space is a dangerous place, and the slightest mistake can mean death. So when something goes wrong, people scream. And sometimes, they're heard. On March 13th, 2127 CE, as Expedition Six headed back to Earth after collecting rocks on Mars, they found themselves engulfed in flames. One by one their oxygen tanks ruptured until all five crew members were screaming for help as the cabin became engulfed in fire. But there was no hope for them - their oxygen ran out long ago and none of them had masks with which to survive such a deadly fire.

Commander David Wilburn of the starship Prometheus was never one to believe in space myths. But as he drifted through the dark, empty void of space, his oxygen running out quickly, he began to think that maybe there was some truth to the old tales after all. After all, nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space... or so they say. Suddenly, just when it seemed like the end was near, Commander Wilburn found himself tumbling head over heels through deep space. He didn't know how long he had been falling for before he saw it: the blue light of Earth. A way home!

Reaching out with a hand stretched and desperate, Cmdr. Wilburn barely touched down on solid ground - Earth's surface - whereupon he collapsed into blissful unconsciousness.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But on the space station Trouble, there's a lot of screaming. It's been two weeks since the last supply ship came, and the supplies are running low. The crew is getting desperate. When the captain finally makes the decision to abandon ship, it's too late. The only way out is through the airlock... to die outside in the freezing cold.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But nobody heard me scream when I lost my first love on the space station Trouble. They say that you shouldn't regret anything in life, but for all the good things I've had happen, nothing has ever hurt as much as this.

As the saying goes, nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space. But what if somebody could? What if there was somebody out there, floating among the stars, who could hear the screams of those who were lost in the void? And what if that somebody decided to do something about it? Would they know how to save these people? Probably not. Would they care enough to try? Absolutely. So, imagine this person embarking on a journey across the galaxy and fighting against all odds to find a way back home for all those lost souls screaming in silence. All because nobody can hear them. All because somebody cares. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In reality, every time someone gets lost in space there is always somebody who hears their cries from afar. It’s just difficult to locate them when you are so far away from everything you know- so distant from home- surrounded by millions of strangers instead of friends and family; only able to take care of yourself while trying your best not to get eaten alive by whatever's lurking around at night.
