Outside My Window
Its 3am on a sleepless night. The kids are in bed, and my husband is snoring like a bandsaw. I fixed myself a cup of herbal tea, thinking that maybe it would help me relax enough to sleep. Insomnia is a usual event lately. I struggle often with this obnoxious, invading event. As the tea pot on the stove boils, the hissing sound brings me back from my thoughts about what will I do tomorrow. Which, by the way, was really today. I laughed quietly to myself.

Three commercial astronauts sit ready in the simulator standing by for the final launch sequence one last time before tomorrow’s big show. They’re among the first who are supposed to be making regular trips to and from nearby asteroid mining space-rigs. They set the bawww.onedoor.ccr for all future efforts.The simulator is an exact replica of the real thing. Command can see the astronauts in their seats on a monitor, face shields down and ready to rumble. The rest of the essential crew of engineers, coders, traffic control and operators can hear the interactions between command and crew. The flight crew, in...
