A previously unknown species of bacteria was collected on China’s Tiangong space station and returned to Earth in 2023. You read that right – an aerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria was living on a hardware surface inside the space station. This isn’t the first time, won’t be the last, and strikes me as inevitable. Astronauts carry […]

A space battle starts right away, with the tropes you're after - Hostile aliens, a space station, and cadets in training & in conflict with their admiral. Lots of characters and the personal sacrifices they make to pursue dreams. The aliens aren't gon ...more |

"Kate Rauner unrolls an all-too-real look at determined explorers, complete with personal delusions and misconceptions, rocky loyalties, and even the ability to regain some balance in a crisis. I did not want this book to end! "

Lunar Base: Sci Fi Space Adventure (Winnie Bravo, Space Pilot Book 1)
by Kate Rauner (Goodreads Author) |

“Too bad, but you can't run a controlled experiment on your own life.”
― Lunar Base: Sci Fi Space Adventure
― Lunar Base: Sci Fi Space Adventure
“We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster.
