| Summary | "Shipwreck in the Sky" by Eando Binder is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The story centers around Captain Dan Barstow, who embarks on a significant space mission for the United States Air Force. As a pioneer in space exploration, Barstow unexpectedly discovers a tiny second moon of Earth during his flight, leading to a series of thrilling and precarious events in the vastness of outer space. The narrative unfolds as Barstow's spacecraft collides with this newly discovered moonlet, causing him to be ejected and left to navigate the unknown from its surface. With a limited oxygen supply and no means of immediate escape, he brilliantly deduces a way to utilize the moonlet's feeble gravitational pull to propel himself back to Earth. His journey becomes a blend of adventure, survival, and ingenuity as he explores the barren moon while ultimately finding a way home. The novella encapsulates themes of exploration, bravery, and the human spirit’s resilience against the odds, making it a captivating read for fans of speculative fiction.
