WoM, LAS - Chapter 4 The Martian night was an interesting, albeit somewhat scary, experience for our travellers. Each one noticed astronomical phenomena that was literally alien to them. During Gary's first vigil he noticed that the residual light of the twilight lingered in distinctly red sky for longer than he could remember. When Olivia's first turn came the twilight had slackened and, instead, she stared at the stars of the Martian sky; she could find no recognisable constellations but she did notice one point of light in the sky slowly following the path the Sun took and identified two points of light in close proximity in the Western sky.

"Thomas," He said, "How will we avoid crashing into mountains?" Struck by this Thomas Dilwright immediately slowed the spaceboat to just 520 mph and began a spiral descent towards the right, so as to reach such a level where they could see the landscape better.

Olivia joined Gary at the porthole, looking out over a green landscape. They could see plenty of fields and a forest in the dista
WoM, LAS - Chapter 2 At eight miles distance from the Earth's surface, at a speed of 15,000mph, Prof. Dilwright's spaceboat left the atmosphere and became the first man-made object in space.

He twisted a few knobs, increasing the acceleration so they reached 25,000mph after just four minutes. "The danger energy's safety distance will be more than 1,000 feet, but in space that is of little consequence. You can't have life without air."
The speed acquired thrust them on
WoM, LAS - Chapter 1 Britannia was at her apex. She had control of the seas and an empire that span the globe. In the last years of the 19th Century the middle and upper classes of the island nation felt that they had achieved a level of success and prosperity never matched in the history of the world.

One man with a vision was Gary Waltman; he was an entrepreneur who had made a name for himself in the production of steel. Steel was the backbone of British power; it was used to build railways, trains, battleships and cars just to name a few. However he was also aware of something most people neglected to consider, nothing
