Cislunar

Remembered Earth Universe

CISLUNAR SERIES

The Remembered Earth Universe covers the science and technology of the next hundred years, as mankind moves into cislunar space (defined as that space in and around the Earth-Moon system and slightly beyond), and takes tentative steps to destinations farther out.

It begins with an exploration of the space around the Earth and Moon in the stories that make up the Cislunar Series. These are the foundational stories of the Remembered Earth Universe.

Below is a list of the eight stories in the Cislunar Series Collection in chronological order:

US Tugs: A Short Story

When robots become as smart as humans, will we be smart enough to help them?

Prototype: A Short Story

James had made it to orbit, where he always wanted to be. He thought the hard work was behind him, but when you are responsible for a hundred million dollar prototype, the hard work may just be ahead.

L1 Or Bust: A Short Story

There's a place for everyone, and everyone better know his place, at least aboard a spacecraft.

Guidance Box: A Short Story

Those that can, do, those that can't, sit it out.

But some times those that do can make a mistake. And if they don't have the integrity to face up to their mistakes, they may make the wrong decision and try to cover it up. That could cost lives.

Air Brakes: A Short Story

Sometimes engineering is just engineering.

Sometimes engineering is subjugated to company politics.

And sometimes engineering is not enough when faced with criminal intent.

View Point: A Short Story

The problem with space is it takes a team. Not a team of astronauts, but a team of technicians, a team of engineers, and a team of managers.

And different teams have different view points.

Space Truck: A Short Story

The rush to build a permanent Moon habitat was on.

Jose was project leader for the team that would land the equipment to make it happen.

Only there was one big problem, government. As hard as it was, regulators would make it harder.

Dark Side: A Novella

As a young lawyer, Josh was aware of the developing human presence in cislunar space, but only as a bystander.

He never dreamed he would ever have a role in that development.

But now he had to decide to step up and help further that development, help build an important radio telescope on the far side of the Moon by using the law, or stay a bystander.

He stepped up and failed, but in failure sowed the seeds of success.
