Flight Into the Unknown Produced from Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy August 1957 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Flight Into the Unknown" by Tom W. Harris is a science fiction narrative produced in the late 1950s. This work revolves around space travel and highlights the psychological challenges faced by astronauts on a mission gone awry. The story captures the essence of human vulnerability and fear within the vastness of space, emphasizing the possible dangers of space exploration. The plot follows Matt Bailey on his inaugural space mission aboard the Ranger, where a catastrophic event occurs that leaves him and the crew in a precarious situation while trying to rescue another crew stranded in a bubble on Katherine Two, a satellite of Saturn. As Bailey copes with the stress and panic, the crew contends with their own fears and reactions to the unknown threats outside. The story culminates in a revealing twist, where it is disclosed that Bailey himself is a synthetic personality created to simulate the emotional and psychological impacts of space travel. This lush exploration not only delves into the characters' internal struggles but also serves as a grim reminder of the realities of human endurance in the face of exploration and the unknown elements of space.
