My kids and I are sweltering. It’s Western Australia in the middle of summer and it has gotten to the point where no one is comfortable. The streets are barren. It’s even too hot for any flies to come out and annoy people. That’s when you know that the heat is just too much. At …
I’m about to make the biggest move of my life, literally and metaphorically. As a girl from the Northern Territory, I am used to a life that is extremely different to the inner city one I am about to jump into. In two months I will be packing my entire life into my car and …
Like Sisyphus, I am bound to eternal torment. Actually, at least Sisyphus had fresh air and a solid end goal. I’m more like…Tantalus.

Lunar Agents have been sent out far and wide to research the viability of building a rocket. And that…seems a little suspicious to me. We were told that the rocket was pretty much finished…and now we’re searching for information on whether a rocket can be built at all? Suspicious. If my travel and accommodation weren’t …
