I wrote a rather longish short sci-fi story about shutting down the last human outpost in the Solar system. I wrote it just after the last of the Space Shuttles was delivered to its retirement home.

Call me a pessimist, but I see no reason to expect that our experiments in space will ever lead to a permanent human presence off Earth.

You only say that because you haven’t been with the UT/Flying Castle since the beginning.

I figure if you can think about the plausibility of an action/event, it will eventually take place. Dick Tracy had a wrist radio, back when it was “sci-fi” but we have things that are much more sophisticated today.

Still, I can appreciate your thoughts.

(If you’d like to FReepmail your story to me, I would be honored to read it!)
