One of the greatest moments of human history dawned with the launch of Discovery One, the world's first interstellar space voyager that could carry people. The long voyage went as planned for years, but unexpected problems compounded into disaster. Note: This story is meant to be very realistic; at least, it is meant to be about as realistic as regular science fiction can be. For example, there is some scientific basis for the design of the ship and the length of the voyage. Scientific experts feel that the speed of light is the fastest that we can go. That would make most interstellar voyages extraordinarily long for us short-lived humans.

Discovery One
I like ERB's Moon stories ( they make up a trilogy ), although they are certainly not as well-known as his Tarzan or John Carter series. In The Moon Maid, Julian is the commander of a spaceship that blasts off for Mars, or Barsoom, after contact is made with the famous Virginian John Carter on the Red Planet. Unfortunately, the craft goes astray and the Earthmen make a landing, not on the moon, but inside it. In the lunar interior, they discover weird creatures and an alien civilization, and, of course, the Moon Maid.
I loved Burroughs' stories as a kid and still love to return to those strange and wonderful worlds that the Chicago-born author created! I just wish we could have found a moon maiden inside the Moon, although, I guess it's better-for her!-that we didn't.
