The Solar Current is Nuptially Tuned
by Thomas M Miovas Jr“The videocom made its horrible noise again.
“Spencer grumbled but answered it anyhow.
“The voice from the other end said simply, “Extraterrestrials in Crater 451. Meet me in the Operations Building in fifteen minutes.””When Spencer Harling investigates the spacecraft, he was in for a surprise!
Would you have the courage to enter and explore a crash-landed unknown spacecraft on the moon? What do you think you will find there? And how can one use solar flares for a spacecraft? Could you be an inventor and make something important for future space travel? You would if you were Spencer Harling and had been fired from Lunar City and was looking for some adventure. Read about it in my new science fiction book “The Solar Current is Nuptially Tuned”
NOTE: Modern language has changed “solar current” to mean the current arising for solar panels, but that is not what this story is about. Once upon a time ago, the solar flares and their charged particle ejections were referred to as the solar current; and that is the meaning I am using in this short story. I apologize for any confusions, but the title was written a long time ago when “solar current” had a different meaning. It is an enjoyable short story that doesn’t have anything to do with solar-powered electric panels.
When half your description has to be a disclaimer and defense of your use of vocabulary…
Just think how many book sales were lost before the disclaimer was added.
I didn’t make it as far as the disclaimer. I was driven to gibbering lunacy by the unholy mix of tenses in the first couple of paragraphs.
why can’t I upvote this more than once??
I added one for ya, Syd, to help you out. 🙂
Thanks!
I thought solar flares and their charged particle ejections were called solar wind.
I was an IGY 1957 kid. So
Does this mean that whoever hosted the Solar Wedding charged the guests for attendance????
