IN THE LAST EDITION
In the last newsletter, I shared this interesting question:
You uncover a spaceship buried under the sands of a distant planet. Its navigation system offers you three destinations:
1. A planet covered in towering crystal forests, said to harbor a hidden vault left by an alien race.
2. An abandoned research station on a desolate exoplanet, where the last transmission warned of an undisclosed threat.
3. A colony on a thriving moon, where a rebellious population awaits a savior to lead them in their war against their occupiers.
Which destination do you choose, and why?
I also shared a very interesting sci-fi space short story 'The Rings of Aureth', based on a space mission to retrieve a rare metal from planet Aureth, crucial for Earth's energy needs. Read this edition here.
