Two of my favorite writers recently inspired me on Medium. In January, Cory Doctorow shared his essay about how the Luddites were forerunners of science fiction writers. The Luddites were artisanal weavers known for burning mills and resisting the Industrial Revolution. In my college years, I considered myself an Earth First neo-Luddite, so his essay caught my eye. Doctorow argues that it wasn’t the machines that they hated, but the consequences of the way the machines are used. Luddites could imagine the future, and their movement was an act of resistance to that future. In that sense, Luddites were like today’s science fiction authors; when we imagine the future, it is not about the machines per se, but rather about the moral choices caused by the introduction of those machines.

Chapter 1 - Nia There weren't always dragons in the Valley, and the people of the town couldn’t have been more vexed when they arrived. “Dragons” is what younger me called the loud, smoking trains that ran along the tracks behind our house every day in Stone Valley. I'd just turned nine the first time I saw a dragon. Soon after was the last time I saw my mother, riding away on one. One night I watched her dash through the back door and skip across the grass as the dragon slowly made its way toward her. Me and Grandma just watched.

For scientists searching for extraterrestrial life forms, it's becoming hard to ignore the song of the Martian sirens. Recent observations made by rovers on the red planet suggest the signature of microbes, does this mean that the Earth is not the only refuge of life in the solar system?
A Lonely Moon
Have you ever looked at the moon and wonder if the moon was a person what kind of person would it be? For those who haven't I'll give you a guess the moon is the only moon in our entire solar system who has never had a companion moon partner. After a billion years of isolation with only a star who is most likely a complete hothead mentioning how hot the sun really is. The moon was formed from through a collision with a large object a few billion years ago. After being a hot boiling ball of hot molten rock floating in space. Along side another hot ball of rock such as the earth, So after another millions of years have passed the moon the moons watched in awe and amazement watching and observing the the earths involvement in creating such abundance of life throughout the years. Since the Earth was the first thing the moon probably saw it viewed it as a mother or its adoptive mother since its real mother was burned to a crisp and eroded throughout time. After watching and observing the moon would mostly have become furious or even jealous of the Earths improvement while the moon remained the same. Like how do we know that the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was the moon wishing it upon the universe that wiped out more than 87% of life. While the moon has more creators on it possibly more than the Earth has. Being the only moon in the solar system bond to the Earth by a gravitational pull going around and around having these beings the moon mostly has never seen before coming from landing on the moon leaving there space junk on its surface and debris around its orbital space crashing on its surface and observing its phases and taking samples off its rocks These aliens unknown to it ,questioning if the moon ever had life on its surface.As the moon orbits the sun the moon is able to talk and reach out to the other planets like Mercury, Venus and Mars and possibly Jupiter as all the planets orbit to the sun and especially during certain parts of the year. After thinking about Pluto has one moon too if you count Charon as a moon or its own object. Since Charon orbits Pluto I suggest Charon is a moon, but its not a complete guarantee knowing a lot of objects in space orbit each other as binary systems. Since, Pluto isn’t consider a planet anymore ,but a dwarf planet so maybe not. For me the moon would be a very depressed introvert and possibly very ignorant about the outsides of the solar systems ,but yet very curious about the comets and the asteroids that passes through our planet. If the planets up in space would talk I wonder what they would talk about? The conversions probably went like this.
