Captain Dauntless on The Planet Earth!: An Original Science Fiction/Meta Comedy Radio Play

In a distant future where humans have been driven from the earth, one brave lunar citizen returns to our overgrown, alien-ruled homeworld on a reconissance mission. After an act of sabotage leaves him trapped on the surface, the gallant Captain Dauntless must tackle lizardmen, liase with gorillas and even come face to face with the alien occupiers themselves to escape safely back to the moon.

Captain Dauntless was a radio play I developed in conjunction with Medway Little Theatre, it’s an idea I came up with during the pandemic, forgot about and then dug up last summer when announcements for the Kent Drama Association‘s Radio Play Festival were sent out. It’s presented as a weekly serial radio series created by the propaganda ministry of a government ruling the moon, with the adventures of Captain Dauntless taking place in an extension of their reality rather than being purely fictional as it would be to us. A post from earlier this month containing the script can be found here.

The Lonely Pharoh: A Poem

The Lonely Pharaoh. At the end of a path not yet travelled, on a day not yet reached, a familiar man stands below an unfamiliar sky. Though he is our child, we are not his parents, only those who ushered his voyage into the afterlife with coins to pay his passage. And yet, and yet

Early responses to the brave pioneers of the Rhode Space Program were mixed. Some thought they were fools, to others they were a nicely entertaining fad. There were a few hopeful fans though.

With every launch hopes soared with the rockets. Few became many, and with them came respect from the Corporations. C7, Rockomax, Tetragon. Once the ball got rolling, it seemed that nothing could stop them..

In our last episode, the nascent Rhode space program took their first steps towards reclaiming Kerbalkind’s place in the stars. Today however the space program has a new, much loftier goal. To visit Rhode’s small second moon Armstrong with sturdy robotic probes.

Long ago, around a distant star, there once lived a people called the Kerbals. These Kerbals were a curious people, and dutifully watched the planets around their star dance around the sky in a state of glee and wonder. But, of course, all things must come to an end and eventually their star exploded, killing them all.

In a moment of pity, the almighty Krakens that be took a small group of Kerbals to a new star, and to a new planet “Rhode” so that once again they could watch the stars above in peace.

Or so it is Believed

Long ago the Kerbals fled their dying home system to a new system. The Tempus System, a binary star system with two stars, Destiny and Fate. Unfortunately during the colonisation efforts Kerbal society has kind of stepped backwards into the pre-space age, with many believing that the idea of Kerbalkind ever having had the power to travel the stars being lunacy at best.
In defiance of this an intrepid group of rocket enthusiasts have begun a new space program, in hopes of reclaiming what once was Kerbalkind’s greatest achievement.
