Produktinformationen zu „Impossible Mission (ePub)“

Kevin Owens is a studly graduate of the Air Force Academy and the youngest astronaut on the planet. He has been groomed by NASA to lead a civilian crew of two men and three women to colonize a planet outside the solar system. It is a one-way mission with a flight exceeding eight years. The US Space Force and NASA tell the public the objective is interstellar exploration. But Owens cannot disclose the real reason.

Can NASA find qualified men and women willing to give up their life on Earth to undertake such a dangerous mission? How could NASA select a crew that would not be at each other's throats while confined to a spacecraft for more than eight years? Will their mutual attraction work, or will jealousy and infighting doom the objective? Does life exist outside the solar system? Is the exoplanet destination supportive of human life? Or is this mission truly impossible as the media believes?

What hazards threaten the crew as they traverse the solar system? The asteroid belt? The Kuiper belt? The Oort cloud? Interstellar space? Can they rely on the latest supercomputer to navigate through it all? What happens to the voyagers as their spacecraft approaches the speed of light? Does Einstein's relativity kick in? Can Houston Mission Control save them when the communication time delay exceeds years?
