About

What will it be like when humans colonize the Solar System? Will there be low-gravity amusement parks on the Moon? Will manmade space colonies provide luxury housing for the wealthy with zero-chance of natural disasters? Will asteroid miners become the truck drivers of tomorrow? Will there be pirates? Will the colonies be oppressed and exploited by the Earth? I’m looking for great short stories that show what the future holds for space exploration and colonization. I’m not looking for technical, hard sci-fi but I also don’t want to see any fantastical technology that doesn’t make sense (time travel, lightspeed, etc.). The setting for all stories should be our Solar System.
