Roots of Moondust by Shradha Banavalikar Pdf

Each one of us are fighting our own challenges in our day-to-day lives, aren't we? But there are some amongst us who brush their shoulders with real-time war, like the Ex-Captain V.H.Makaikar from the Indian Army. Was he born with a silver spoon? Did he aspire for more than what life had to offer him? Did he have to fight other battles in life, other than the army? The veteran nurtured narrative values, like that of courage, perseverance, and self-help. They were key assets for him to achieve his personal and professional goals. The veteran held his values and beliefs close to his chest just the way the Moon held Moondust. He was one such person who never sang his own praises inspite of his towering personality. Hence, his daughter ventured out to sing his unsung song for the readers, while she canvassed his biography in print.

Moondust by Andrew Smith Pdf

In 1999, Andrew Smith was interviewing Charlie Duke, astronaut and moon walker, for the Sunday Times. During the course of the interview, which took place at Duke's Texan home, the telephone rang and Charlie left the room to answer it. When he returned, some twenty minutes later, he seemed visibly upset. It seemed that he'd just heard that, the previous day, one of his fellow moon walkers, the astronaut Pete Conrad, had died. The more Charlie spoke the more Andrew realised that his grief was something more than the mere fact of losing a friend. 'Now theres only nine of us,' he said. Only nine. Which meant that, one day not long from now, there would be none, and when that day came, no one on earth would have known the giddy thrill of gazing back at us from the surface of the moon. The thought shocked Andrew, and still does. Moondust is his attempt to understand why. The Apollo moon programme has been called the last optimistic act of the 20th Century. Over a strange three year period between 1969 and 1972, twelve men made the longest and most eccentric of all journeys, and all were indelibly marked by it. In Moondust Andrew sets out to interview all the remaining astronauts who walked on the moon, and to find out how their lives were changed for ever by what had happened. 'Where do you go after you've been to the moon?' In addition to this question that would prove hugely troubling to many of the returned astronauts, they also had to deal with the fantasies of faceless millions at their backs, for this was the first truly global media event. The walkers would forever be caught between the gravitational pull of the moon and the earth's collective dreaming.

Moondust Lake by Davis Bunn Pdf

A burned-out businessman finds respite and romance at a lakeside retreat in this novel for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Karen Kingsbury. A top executive in the family business, Buddy Helms lives and works under the thumb of his powerful father. He’s proved himself time and again to the manipulative patriarch—even saving the company from financial ruin. Yet for six years Buddy’s waited to hear that he’s worthy of his father’s love and respect. Now, after another cold dismissal, Buddy’s slamming the door on everything he’s strived for. Luckily his church counselor recommends just the thing for his disillusionment, frustration, and rage: the solitude of Moondust Lake, a retreat just outside Miramar Bay. Kimberly Sturgiss is a professional psychotherapist whose tragic past has granted her a rare ability to gently release her patients from their self-made prisons. She’s well acquainted with the Helms family and the dark burdens that come with them. But the most intriguing challenge of all is Buddy. He and Kimberly share more than she’s prepared to admit—the same emotional cage, the guarded heart, and the broken trusts that come with being alive. Maybe it’s finally time that Kimberly finds herself, too—by reaching out to the man who’s reaching out to her. “Bunn brings family and friendships to the forefront of this gracefully and skillfully written story…. Full of strong female characters and an excellent plotline.”—Library Journal

A Fall of Moondust by Arthur C. Clarke Pdf

A “superbly ingenious” classic of space survival from the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey—one of science fiction’s most influential grandmasters (Daily Express). Expanding the Moon’s population hinges on building a thriving tourist industry. But when a prototype tourist craft called the Selene encounters a moonquake, the ship plummets under a vast body of liquid-fine moondust called the Sea of Thirst. While time runs out for the passengers and crew, rescuers find their resources stretched to the limit by the unpredictable conditions of the lunar environment. Nominated for the Hugo Award in 1963, this brilliantly imagined story of human ingenuity and survival is a tour-de-force of psychological suspense and sustained dramatic tension sure to appeal to fans of Andy Weir’s The Martian. “The best book yet about man’s most dramatic journey, the most exciting science fiction novel for years.” —Evening Standard “Expertly told and cruelly exciting to the end.” —The Sunday Times “Extremely good . . . with some superbly ingenious and exciting new twists.” —Daily Express

The Adventures of a Black Hand Full of Moondust by N.Coe Copes Pdf

TRUST GOD ONLY & WALK IN BLIND FAITH- ALONE for more than 5 years in silence. Maybe I was set up to die that way. A freak accident, perhaps. That's how it would have looked. Someone expected that, and with expectations that low and miserable, I never worried about someone like that. Risky behavior was my hobby in those days. Unknowingly, I was selected as a target of interest, mistaken for the "average bear "hunted down during hibernation, plenty of times before.The obvious game is to benefit from life insurance policies matured well and long enough to play a "surprised" or "sorry" role when a target expires. Apparently, keeping up appearances is costly. This ritual targets the LGBT Community, persons identifying with mental illness, and persons with criminal history involving drugs. I would play this game like a baby Grand Piano but it worked. This account I am opening is not a game, however, and secrets like these make a killing, literally. GOD has the final word.

Moon Dust in My Hairnet by JR Creaden Pdf

Moon Dust in My Hairnet is a fresh, hopeful, and diverse sci-fi romp following an autistic lunar lunch lady as she juggles relationships and threatening corporate overlords, all while adjusting to life on the Lunar Trust. 20-year-old Lane was perfectly happy living in her big sister's shadow. The great Faraday Tanner, who invented the gravdrive and inspired the movement to found the moon's first independent colony, was the unequaled voice of the post-melt generation. That is, until an unimaginable tragedy cut Faraday’s legacy short. Wracked with survivor's guilt and desperate for her sister's utopian dream to succeed, Lane embraces her job on the moon: lunch lady—which is more than her parents think she can handle. Her boyfriend's supportive at least, when he's not drooling over one of the new recruits. Lane tries to put the past behind her, committed to enjoying her kitchen work and dating her boyfriend and their new crushes. She even participates in planning Faraday's memorial, forcing herself to grapple with monumental loss. But when colony goods go missing and vital equipment gets tampered with, Lane can't accept the events as mere pranks, banding together with new and old friends to save their home.
