Website hosting fees are becoming more expensive every year. Hosting fees used to be reasonable, but the market has changed to where the first year is fine, but after that fees start to soar, and changing hosts frequently is a tedious and time-consuming process. And, unfortunately, the site ads aren't covering it, they're only worth fractions of a cent in most cases. If you can, please consider a small donation to PopApostle with the PayPal button below...any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

If donations are strong enough, I will eliminate the site ads.

DIDJA NOTICE?

 

The photo illustration on page 2 of the story is borrowed from a scene in "Breakaway".

 

The quote by Professor Bergman on the photo illustration on page 3 of the story does not actually occur in the story itself. It is a paraphrasing of statements he makes on page 4.

 

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

 

The story ends with Alpha detecting another planet and they prepare a long range probe to investigate. What was this second planet? Was it intended to be the so-called Femalia planet featured in the next story of this annual, "A Woman's World" (a story which the PopApostle chronology places quite a bit later)?
