"Here at the Lunar Grand Prix the starter's pistol has just been fired, and…they're off! It's Moonbase Alpha in the lead with an eleven year head start, of course, followed by the monolith-powered Europa coming close behind, with Iapetus moving in on the outer curve -- what's this? It's incredible, folks! Hyperion just performed a slingshot manoeuvre around Iapetus, skimming across the oceans of Ganymede, zipping ahead to an unexpected lead! Listen to that crowd go wild!"
Aw, you're just saying that because I spelled "manoeuvre" correctly, rather than in my native Americanese. But really, thanks for the kind words! And someday I hope to do some SWORD-inspired writing…

ReplyDeleteNice take on the "moon race", RAB :)

ReplyDeleteI agree. Let's have some original SWORD fiction, RAB.
