The Moon and the Sun
A small launch team completes a long labor and ignites a gleaming rocket intended for lunar rendezvous. As the craft rises, tensions among the crew about the vehicle's ultimate purpose—and the ethical implications of its use—weigh heavily on those who built it. One agonized member rejects the mission at the last instant, leaving the machine to ascend without him. The rocket proceeds past the Moon on a sunward trajectory, forcing the survivors to reckon with the ambiguous triumph of technological accomplishment and the personal costs behind it.
