I enjoyed the school holidays. Well, all three days of it so far, as I had done virtually nothing. Well apart from mowing the lawn, and doing my laundry, since my parents were always so busy with work all the time, I thought that it was time that I did my bit at home, instead of facing the nagging of my Mum when she came home each day. Dad was a radio announcer and producer, and travelled 65 kilometres each way, each work day, leaving at 5 am before anyone else in the family was awake, and

The Sahndrol People are just introducing the Earth people to space slowly and carefully.

Since my travel time is just under four hours back to Mars, I decided that I wanted to be there before the shuttle arrives from Ganymede, so I thanked the Administrator for her time, and informed her that I would be returning to Mars, first thing in the morning. When I did arrive at the SRTA Space Port the following day, after a restless night of sleep, I was surprised to see Mum there waiting for my arrival. “This is a bit of a surprise, I thought you would be home at Deimos,” I said to Mu

Two of the space craft transporting them to Deimos, would remain on Mars, and the other four would be travelling to Ganymede, where there will be some alternations made to two of them, so they become cargo transporters, while the remaining two will remain and passenger transporters. The wedding was a very grand event, enjoyed by everyone who attended, and for those who couldn’t make it, the event was broadcasted to all parts of Sahndrol and the United Republic of Planets as well.

“Houny Otterman?” I asked, suddenly realising who he was, “Yes, My Lord, that is correct, my Earth name is Huon,” he replied smiling, “Wow, you have grown a bit in the short time since I last saw you,” I commented, “Yes, My Lord, it has been just over four years now, since you changed our lives for the better,” Huon replied. “Ok, well your brother Isaac should be along soon, can you show him his quarters please, I am going to go back to the central building for a few hours,” I stated, “Yes,

Yes Deimos is a Mars moon, and name of a colony on Mars itself.

“That is good to hear Maenyl, now you are probably wondering why Mrs Otterman, Isaac’s mother is here today, and we will get into details later, but she has duties in the Palace now, which includes being my assistant with Royal duties, but we will get into details of that later, for now we have a meeting with the High Council to attend first,” my Uncle informed me. I was surprised when entering the main conference chamber, where most video meetings with the High Council are held, to see tha

“Thank you, please take a seat… I wish to thank the Members of the UN Security Council who invited me to speak to you today. Just before the Space crash incident on Mars, which resulted in the URP rescuing all of the astronauts, and after a period of quarantine, they were recently returned to Earth safely, the URP Council had concluded discussions and agreed to a number of things. Firstly, that the European Space Lunar Base would be increased in size, to allow for more personnel to be stati

Meanwhile their spacecraft and everything within it, will be confiscated to cover costs of rescuing the astronauts costs of housing and feeding them while in isolation and transporting them back to Earth. As expected, I received a short message back from the Ambassador, “Not happy about losing their space craft, but they will accept the loss, as long as they get the astronauts back to Earth safely and in good health.” I smiled on reading this message, and I relayed the message to Ganymede.

“Remain at your stations,” I said before anyone could raise up in a sign of respect, and instead I received nods of the head from everyone. Over the next twenty minutes, I was briefed on what news had been received so far, including that two small shuttles have been sent out to investigate the situation. “Shuttle 047 to SRTA, over,” a voice over the loud speak said, “Go ahead 047, over” the duty communications officer responded. “SRTA, we have a space craft partially damaged from a hea

“I wish to make a toast… To the man who in the year 1610, discovered Jupiter’s major moons, of which the one known as Ganymede is now the Sahndrol home capital in this solar system. A toast to Mr Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei,” my mother announced. After the formalities were over, everyone enjoyed the social gathering, as we headed for our main destination of Jupiter, and with the sports and recreation facilities, cinema movies, and science lectures, the return cruise to Jupiter

With tensions still high regarding gaining access to deep space, the High Council decides that there is only one way to resolve this issue and bring a closer peace to Earth....
