Overview: Wallace Chung is a bored PhD student with an idea for a solar powered spaceship, enabling fast and economical transportation to the Moon. Aman Treble is a billionaire with lots of cash looking for an exciting way to spend it. Wallace builds a fast, cheap ship to make regular runs to the Moon, Aman tackles the politics of lunar colonization, and the team lays the groundwork for mankind to build a home on the Moon.



In the bonus story titled “The Old Man”, Bob is two hundred fifty years old, a survivor of the Cyclone Decades and nearly two hundred years of the global warming that decimated humanity. Things have gotten boring lately, though, and his best friend is thinking about ending it all. Aside from the boredom, their extended lifespan has a small liability that makes them both wonder if it’s worth it to stick around. Can Bob save his friend, and perhaps save himself as well? Is there enough of a future for humanity?
