"In 2273, representatives from the governments of Earth and the settled planets Lyra, Draco, and Cygnus came together to form the Consortium of Planets to facilitate collaboration between the individual governments. The Consortium's mandate included control of the interplanetary commerce and immigration. Ships fuelled by vacuum particle energy enabled space travel between the planets. Incredible seeps were possible by flying along rare defects in the cosmic particle energy structure of space called textures. Freighters as well as passenger ships travelled daily along the texture corridors between the planets. Spaceports located on the three base stations include the Earth Base Station on the moon, the Eagle Base Station at the entrance to Lyra Space, and the Lyra Base Station orbiting the planet Lyra." -Spectra by Joanne Elder
Well, that's very interesting futuristic science! I hope we can actually have something like that someday! What about you guys? Happy reading!
Hi, Louisa! Just passing through to wish you a happy Memorial holiday.
ReplyDelete**whispering** Pssst! I think your FLF template posted.
:) What's Memorial holiday? We don't have it in Canada :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I know, but I've already returned the book I was reading, so I can't get the first lines :( Opps. Oh, well.
Memorial Day is a national (U.S.) holiday to celebrate veterans and those that serve our country.
