Happy Friday: Gateway to a lovely Fall weekend –
I’ve returned from my trip to the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) near Hanksville, UT. This week’s blog post is a short summary of our Refit Crew work—with pictures.
Check out: Mars Analog 2: An Expedition to the “Martian” Desert. It was a great trip, but it took longer than expected to get back to normal life back here on Earth. Give it a read and feel free to shoot back any questions you might have.
Also, in this edition is the second installment in Book Three of The Hydrogen Thieves. In Rescue Always Comes in the Nick of Time, we continue the adventure as the brave crew of the Marius meets the challenges of surviving in space, damaged from the battle with the alien invaders, with little hope of rescue.
In Episode Two: Short of the Goal, Celeste talks her way back into restricted duty in engineering and comes up with a solution to the off-center nuclear rocket. But things go awry and the Marius and the indominable crew face missing the target. Read more …

From the last edition –

In Episode One: No Time to Mourn, Celeste lies injured in sickbay, struggling with her guilt over the death of her co-pilot, Ahmed, sidelined as her injuries heal. Read more …
