Moon (part II)

The chances of creating an uncontrolled event with the experiments taking place in the LHC were very unlikely. However, the worst scenario took place at 11:23h local time of March 9. The collision of two particles created a tiny black hole, that should have been consumed by itself due to the lack of energy. It was not the firt time it happened. But this time was different. The exotic particles behaved in an unpredicted way, releasing an amount of energy enough to feed the hole and making it increase its size exponentially. The catastrophic event devoured around 90% of earth in less thant 8 hours. The remaining 10% of the shattered earth stayed orbiting around the black hole, once it stabilized itself. The visible side of the moon took the hit of thousand of debris from earth, and only due to this, should have altered its orbit. But it didn't. Doctor Brand opened an eye, feeling dizzy, and laying on the floor, with her helmet and suit on. She saw the rest of the team also layin

March 8, 2031. The international lunar base located in the Mare Crisium, in the dark side of the moon is living its last moments. The mission, which has lasted 6 years, has reached much more than expected in this time. Bioengineering has allowed to grow some fruits and vegetables on a sustainable way. The privileged location helped observing astronomical phenomenas and to understand them. And much more experiments and geological research has been developed throughout the years. The crew is scheduled to depart in 36 hours, leaving the base for the next mission. -Do you know what day is today? -asked Cooper, the cargo ship engineer, to Doctor Brand, while they where having the morning coffee in the relaxation room. -Our last day in this giant rock? -said the woman. I'm really willing to feel gravity again. I need some holiday man. Being locked here with you for so long has been exhausting. Cooper laughed, catching the prank. In the adjacent room, Romilly and Doyle, the two sci
