SPICEMAN JAM did a go in the machine. Speciemtn Jem crossed the fields of stars until a point. A bead of sweat made an amazon rain gush down the temple of JIm. The gauges were reading Not Good, and the spacemanship was puttering out its last putter into a cold empty place. Spruceman had a thought back to the time when he made handshakes and promises to the United States of Earth. In the streets there was a great tear from all the eyes of the people. As he climbed into the belly of Spaceman Ship, he'd waved and made a promise to go out into the stars and find the thing called Hope. What was hard for Jim was the part before he went inside and away. There was a house that was the home of a spaceman. Spaceman Dad, they called him inside the house. Little arms hugging him all the time and little faces asking why, why, why when he said it was time to do the go for Hope. little faces who were needing an explain of the idea of relativity. A spaceman tells his smol ones what? when he's going into the far stars at light speed? By luck, the little faces were a learn, and knew the result of a spaceman traveling far for a Hope at lightspeed. The president of all Earth handshook with spicemaon and said no matter the famines, Jam's family would live and make smol-ones and jim would meet his great-great-great grandlittles if he found a Hope and brought it back to the US of E. A generous pension was given to the famil of spacemanjim. Space Man paid a visit to one, two, three, ten, fifteen planets. Their dry deadnesses made jims skin do a crawl. The shipbrain was friendly, but the stars were a cold place, and there was barely a microbe to occupy the mind of a spacemen, so his only thought was about the small faces in Earth and what it would be like for them in a place where there wasn't a smell in the dirt and where the planet winds blew too hard to make a house. Space Jim was at the final edge of the places space ship could go. Long ago said spaceship they should've turned around and said no, no, no Hope at all, but jim hadn't had a thought about turning back with nothing to tell his great-great grandsmols. Now the lights were beeping and the gauges were being very serious about the Not Good in the ship. Shipbrain said it's too late jim, it's too late. We are caught in a well of gravity around the big planet of this star. The fuel is not enough go to escape. Spacement and spaceship did the slow fall toward the heavy gas giant and the little moons swirled around, like little faces. One moon made a full come-around the planet and jim hadn't seen it before. on the moon was a light, and another light, and another, and the skin of its little face was green. Other spacemans from other times were landed on the little moon and making a light. Jim Spaceman ordered his ship: launch a spacedrone back to home and tell them Hope is in the galaxy. Spaceshipman said, Jim this will take the last of our energy reserves. And Spaceman JIm looked out into the little lights on the green face of the moon and said not a thing. ------------------------------------------------- ----- Spaceman Jemma raised her eyes to a sky. Not her sky, but a sky, and now it had in it a new sparkle. A tiny light that made jema think of a home and a Hope that the long spaces between things had done her a forget. The big gas planet swallowed up the new sparkle after a few days of her and the other spacemans holding a watch with instruments and telescopes. Jem was all cry, but then another said look, look! and a tiny star whizzed off into the empty space between Hope and Hope. Thank you spaceman no-name, thought sapceman jemme as she built a better house for a long wait for Hope.
