We can’t all be Jedi, or captains of the Enterprise, but maybe we can be Ellen Ripleys, maybe we can be heroic in our own right. Venture on and see how author Andrew Romine explores this concept in the Big Idea for his newest novel, The Mosquito Fleet.ANDREW ROMINE:How Do You Want to Go to Space?My first (sadly, fictional) voyages to space were aboard the Millennium Falcon and the starship Enterprise. I think I was 12 or 13 when I first saw Ridley Scott’s Alien, and it must have been late night on HBO or Cinemax (I’m not quite old enough to have caught the first run in theaters). I was prepared to be terrified, but I didn’t expect the deep sense of wonder that preceded that infamous chestburster scene, nor the scrappy, breathless fight for survival that followed.
