Embark on a journey through the cosmos with GSMC Classics: Radio Science Fiction, where we delve into the realms of imagination and bring to life the timeless tales of classic science fiction. In this episode, we present "Houston, Houston, Do You Read" by the legendary James Tiptree, also known as Alice Sheldon.

Set in a future where humanity has spread its wings among the stars, "Houston, Houston, Do You Read" tells the gripping story of a space mission gone awry. When the crew of the spaceship *Magellan* encounters a bizarre temporal anomaly, they find themselves propelled thousands of years into the future, where they encounter a world utterly transformed.

As the astronauts struggle to make sense of this strange new reality, they come face to face with startling truths about the nature of humanity, society, and the passage of time itself. Through their eyes, we witness a haunting vision of a future shaped by the forces of evolution, technology, and the inexorable march of progress.

But as they grapple with the implications of their journey, they also discover unexpected allies and allies in the form of the women who now rule this distant future world. Together, they must confront the mysteries of their shared past and forge a path forward in a world that is both familiar and alien.

"Houston, Houston, Do You Read" is a masterful work of science fiction that explores themes of gender, identity, and the human condition with depth, insight, and compassion.
