So, way back in the dark ages of 2021 (nearly three years ago now), I mentioned I was going to the moon. Or rather, my writing was. Now, the Peregrine Mission One with Astrobotic is about to launch, barring any delays. (Hey, it’s space travel; delays happen.)
To celebrate, Susan Kaye Quinn has published all the stories behind the stories headed to the moon. I’m #95 on the manifest, and you can read my story behind the story here.
I probably won’t be awake for the launch. Even so, I’m excited to head to the moon.
Edited to add: By all accounts, the launch was spectacular, but Peregrine developed a fuel leak and won’t be making it to the moon. My heart goes out to Astrobotic and the Peregrine team. However, as true scientists, they’re making the most of this situation. You can read the updates here.
Writing Wrongs 
Not sure how I missed this news earlier, but this all sounds terrifically exciting! And I love the collection of stories you’re sending along — they encompass a great spectrum of human experience. And lots of tenderness. Glad to know they will be out there! Hope all goes well with the mission Monday night!
