I stepped out onto the surface today.
|
|
|
|
I recall waiting in the airlock, taking some final atmospheric
|
|
readings before I dared go out. But the little gauge imbedded
|
|
into the wall indicated everything was fine. With a hiss of
|
|
stale air and the creak of machines that hadn't moved in
|
|
centuries, the door opened.
|
|
|
|
There were two things that hit me: the air and the light.
|
|
|
|
The air is dry. Moisture was pumped into the gas as the moon
|
|
vented it, but it is not noticable in the local atmosphere.
|
|
That, I suppose, diminishes its sense of freshness. But,
|
|
nonetheless, I reflected that I was taking the first breaths
|
|
of this world.
|
|
|
|
Light spilled through that opening. It took about an hour of
|
|
cautiously exposing eyes that had grown sensitive to lab-
|
|
lighting to the harshness of natural rays. Back and forth,
|
|
in and out of that little room, like a child dipping their
|
|
toes into pool water they know to be cold. A few minutes at
|
|
a time, as much as my eyes could take.
|
|
|
|
When I thought I was ready, for it seemed the relative intensity
|
|
of the light was diminishing, I stepped into the new land
|
|
beyond my lab.
|
|
|
|
Dusk was falling on my little moon. My first sight of this home
|
|
was our host star beginning to dip down towards the desolate
|
|
soil, turning the barren land red.
|
|
|
|
The first terraforming of this moon is complete. Now that we have
|
|
atmosphere and basic habitability, its time to prepare the land
|
|
for life. There is much to be done.
