This Story Begins on a beautiful sunny day in Daytona Beach Florida with a man by the name of David Braymer. A 45-year-old single man that works at the local high school as a science teacher. He also teaches astronomy in the 12-grade level. Now he has been here about 5 years and has become somewhat partial to a young lady by the name of Cheral Baskel a local restaurant owner in Daytona Beach Florida. At the moment, Cheral is preparing her restaurant for another shuttle launch at the cape. Everyone also gathers at her place because you can see the launch real good from there. It is on the water and its real close to the Cape. She always decks out the place right before a launch too. Now David always goes to Cheral's place before work every morning for breakfast because it is on his way to his school. He has never missed a shuttle launch at Cheral's place since he's been at his school. David was not always a teacher, he use to work for the government for U.F.O. research about five years ago. He didn't like the job that much because he was always bored.

He really wanted to teach anyway. Today is also Oct. 27 in the year 2048. The next shuttle launch at the Cape is on Halloween. There has been some unusual events the last 2 shuttle launches though. They would get right up to the launch sequence and stop the launch for some kind of weird problem.

Now everyone is very suspicious about the next launch on the 21 because of it being Halloween. They have also been launch three shuttles a week. Most of the people going back and forth on the shuttles are workers working on the three huge mobile base stations orbiting the Earth. Two of which are just about finished. They have also been trying to get David to join the crew on the U.S.S. Lunar Base 1 for about 2 years. Which is one of the base stations that is almost completed? However, he declines gracefully because he's a little scared of the launch process, Plus he likes the school he's at. Everybody laugh's about the way the base stations look. They look like a giant empty toilet paper holder from Earth, with one huge engine on the back of it. From in front of the engine to the front of the base station on the inside are all docking bays. There's ten stories' from top to bottom and all three base stations are a mile in diameter and about 2 miles long. They constantly rotate when they are in operation. The U.S.S. Lunar Base (1) and (2) are rotating
