Space Pirates

Did you know: Europa Station: Jupiter's moon was the perfect place for humanity to build its first space colony outside Earth's own langrage points. On the surface, now reside many interconnected man-made islands that have become part vacation spot, part manufacturing. Over 57% of Earth's silicate is mined on Europa. The atmosphere was easily adjusted to add increased warmth to the surface, melting the glaciers and forming an ocean that covers a majority of the planet. In orbit, the United Earth Government built their first interstellar space platform for launching ships into other parts of the galaxy. It pretends to be a romantic get-a-way with its luxury hotels, but in reality is more like a tourist trap with its hawkers, vendors and gambling.
Get it Now:	This story first appeared in the e-zine, The Martian Wave. J. Alan Erwine asked me to submit something and I was drawing a blank on space exploration stories. I was in a fiction writing class and two other students wrote these two horrible stories casting themselves as the protagonists, even using their real names. I decided to write something using Dave Long, my former air name. I eventually changed it to David Longheran and made him Irish, a radical change. I also wanted to write a hard sci-fi piece, so I went into research mode, checking out new theories in faster-than-light travel, diving into notes by several think-tanks working on the problem today. The DYKs on this page are mouseovers from the original e-zine. I might include more, eventually. Also, enjoy the textspeak I created for I-wave communication.
