About the book

Trajectories

From near-Earth missions and near-future emergencies to distant aliens fighting in other galaxies, these stories explore the many paths humanity may follow into space. Hard-science adventure meets mystical and fantastical possibility as astronauts face failed Mars landings, workers build outposts around Jupiter, colonists terraform an uninhabitable world, and pilots struggle against damaged ships and impossible distances. Edited by Dave Creek, the anthology considers exploration, supply missions, colony ships, and terraforming while focusing on the human and social consequences of leaving Earth.
