À propos de cet audio

Doubt plagues a new marriage when a young NASA engineer focuses more on the Apollo 11 moon landing than his own future in this poignant short story by bestselling author Olivia Hawker.

Alan is able to imagine every way critical equipment might break during the launch and landing of Apollo 11. But his experience in preventing cosmic disasters does nothing to prepare him for the pressures of a hasty marriage to a woman he barely knows—or the strain of keeping up appearances amid the shifting social attitudes of the late ’60s. When a crisis at home forces Alan back to earth, he’s faced with a choice he doesn’t know how to make: whether to let go or move forward.

Olivia Hawker’s Landing is part of A Point in Time, a transporting collection of stories about the pivotal moments, past and present, that change lives. Read or listen to each immersive story in a single sitting.

Hawker has a unique talent for getting into her character's inner worlds. This story is grounded in the reality of a NASA engineer in the weeks before the launch of Apollo 11. The stakes are charmingly human, and being autistic myself, I see neurodiversity in Alan who is passionate and absorbed in his job in a way that seems uniquely autistic. He isn't special except where he does thrive, which is in his career. His social life gets neglected, but in a sense, the pressure other characters put on him to show up for his new wife inspires some irritation in me as a reader-- how could they make these requests of Alan when he has such a tight deadline to meet? It's only one month of late nights and early mornings before he can give his wife the attention she deserves. They're not sweethearts, but at the heart of their relationship, is a curiosity and earnestness that is hopeful and earnest. At the heart of it, this story is very plainly human, and an overall pleasant listen.
