I was lucky enough to have spent five years collaborating with NASA as we created a simulation of a possible future for humanity in space. We simulated environments using space probe data and created future vehicles that were accurate down to proper tank volumes. We created an entire system for solar system exploration so detailed that it became real to me and the kinds of people who would live there, the adventures they might have, also became real in my imagination.
Let me just stress that the basis for these books is a NASA collaboration but these books are most assuredly not. The realistic world we see at the beginning of these stories is a launching point. One that NASA, I’m sure would be pleased with, but as they venture into the unknown we leave the tracks entirely and the occurrences, although I enjoy keeping a certain scientific grounding, head straight into the fantastic.
