Christopher's Landing
Air Force Colonel John Christopher (retired) stood in the NASA reception room, leaning on his cane and watching the large screen at the far end of the room. At the moment, it was displaying the agency logo, spinning against a field of stars, but in a moment, it would receive the transmission, delayed eight minutes to account for the distance between Earth and Saturn.
“You must be so proud, colonel,” said the young officer who’d been assigned as his escort. “Your son will be the first human being to set foot on Titan!”
John smiled. “I always knew he would.”
