A short and fairly straightforward story. As the title suggests, the moon is facing an apocalyptic event, and the small scientific crew know that only a couple of them will survive, those we take up the seats in the only spacefaring vessel to hand.
There’s no drama around the choosing of who will take the places, and the protagonist and those who stay behind with her are largely resigned to the fate, with only the final sentences with them holding hands as impact happens, having any impact on the reader.
