This morning I awoke and noticed it was the Thirteenth of September. Fifteen years ago today in science fiction alternate history September 13, 1999 the moon was catapulted out of Earth's orbit and caught in a space warp never to return.
The hapless residents of moonbase Alpha spent the next two television seasons wandering the universe meeting bizarre and hostile aliens while looking for a planet to call home.
Of course, when I went outside and saw the real moon hanging in the morning sky, I gave a brief sigh and thought how cool it would be to have a moonbase staffed by hundreds and fly there in Eagle spacecraft.
Maybe by 2099.
