Rich Horton: 10/24/96

A young woman is attracted to life in space, and she serves a hitch on a space station. She falls in love with one of the career spacers, however, soon she faces a choice between staying in space and suffering the irreversible physiological changes which would result (including much shortened life span) and returning to Earth. Her dilemma is well-presented, and the difficulty and sadness of her choice is nicely revealed.
