NEW WORLDS THE OLYMPIC GAMES, YEAR 2020 If Armstrong, or a base like it is a success, then after 20 years or so it ought to be much bigger-a true Moon city. Whole families could be living on the Moon. The children would regard it as home and perhaps puzzle over the pictures of Earth's green fields their homesick parents hang on the walls of their living module. The 'Moonies' (as they might be called) might want the prestige of holding a major world event. The best thing might well be the First Interplanetary Olympics. On these pages you can read the story of the Games of 2020 as they just might happen.... 2 D ▲ It is 11.00a.m. at Earthport, Africa's main spacebase. A few minutes before, an athlete, Yuri Umtali, completed his journey from Athens in Greece, carrying the Olympic Flame. All is ready as he boards the shuttle-craft waiting for him on the 3 launch pad: the torch is placed in a special clamp and Yuri is strapped into his acceleration couch by a stewardess. As the countdown reaches zero, the shuttle's motors fire, and, slowly at first, the ship lifts off the launch pad. ▲ Less than 30 minutes later the shuttle is approaching a giant wheel-shaped space station circling the Earth. For the shuttle, the journey is over as it noses gently into the station's main spacelock. For Yuri, the journey has barely begun. A The next stage is the long three day journey from Earth orbit to Lunar orbit. The craft is a comfy spaceliner on which (reporters and video cameras permitting) Yuri can relax. The craft to be used for the actual landing at Armstrong is a replica of the 'Eagle' module, the first craft to land on the Moon over half a century before. The craft looks the same, but its 'primitive' power, guidance and life-support systems have been replaced by newer robot- controlled ones. 4 ▲ The Moon landing was uneventful and here Yuri pauses for the video-recorders as he jogs towards the newly-built stadium. The Flame is in a special globular container. In its handle is an oxygen cylinder, in its top is a fan to provide a 52 draught. Without this, the flame would go out-there is no air on the Moon. Hidden from view behind Yuri is a newly erected statute of a spacesuited golfer- the first 'sportsman' on the Moon, Alan Shepard Jr, who practised drives when he went to the Moon in 1971. In a few minutes, the Olympic Games of the year 2020 will start. The stadium is covered with a huge plexiglass dome-the visitors from Earth will have a fine view of their home world through it.
