    • Quotes
      • Narrator: [First lines]
      • Narrator: This is Colonel John "Shorty" Powers in Lunar Launch Control. This story takes place near the turn of the century - not the last century, the next century. Nothing very much has happened since the 1960s. There is still a United Nations, and peace in the world... or at least what we have come to accept as "peace".
