About this episode

Story One – We Never Went Back

It has been nearly fifty years since the last human being set foot upon the lunar surface. Were budget constraints really the driving force behind this decision? Or was it something far more sinister? If the accounts of certain whistleblowers are to be believed, then it might just be that there is something on the moon.

Story Two – The Strange Fate of Phobos II

For centuries, humanity has obsessed about the existence of intelligent beings residing upon the seemingly lifeless surface of Mars. Towards the end of the 1980’s, there is evidence that Russia may have been the nation to come closest to proving the existence of such beings. In this story, we examine the strange fate of Phobos II.
