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. |=---=[END TRANSMISSION BLOCK]=---=|
