Read by John J. Nance.Summary: For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's first commercial spaceflight is a dream come true. It's a bittersweet moment of triumph, however, muted by his wife's terror over his acceptance of the prize. A successful launch quickly turns into chaos when a micrometeor punches through the spacecraft, leaving the radios and the pilot dead. Kip is truly alone and has no way to get the ship home, so with nothing to do but wait for the end, he writes his epitaph on the ship's laptop computer. He is totally unaware of the struggle being made to rescue him or of the audience of millions who are reading his messages and tracking his every word on the Internet.
