Acerca de esta escucha
It is a fact of history that when Neil Armstrong set Apollo 11 down on the moon he was running dangerously low on fuel. This Pushcart Prize-nominated story recounts an alternate history in which the lunar module crashed and man's journey to the moon ended not in triumph - but tragedy. A decade later, a pair of astronauts finally return to the moon.
And what they'll find is something no one expects.
About the author: Steven Mohan, Jr. has published scores of short stories in markets as diverse as Interzone, Polyphony, and Paradox, as well as several DAW original anthologies. His short fiction has won honorable mention in The Year's Best Science Fiction and The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.

When itinerant cave diver James Tighe receives an invitation to billionaire Nathan Joyce's private island, he thinks it must be a mistake. But Tighe's unique skill set makes him a prime candidate for Joyce's high-risk venture to mine a near-Earth asteroid - with the goal of kick-starting an entire off-world economy. The potential rewards and personal risks are staggering, but the competition is fierce, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Isolated and pushed beyond their breaking points, Tighe and his fellow 21st-century adventurers must rely on each other to survive....

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's first commercial spaceflight is a dream come true. One grand shot of insanity and he can return to earth fulfilled. It's a bittersweet moment of triumph, however, muted by his wife's terror over his accepting the prize.

But a successful launch quickly morphs.

The Tantalus 13 survey expedition went off the rails as soon as Mary Ketch and the crew of the Diamelen learned that the thing beneath their feet wasn’t a planet. An impossibly vast and ancient artificial structure lies below, hidden from the universe under a façade of cratered stone. SCARAB arrived on Tantalus 13 two years ago. An artificially intelligent, self-constructing factory, it was supposed to aid the crew in their mission, to meet their every need.

Good short story for fans of the moon landing.
Bite sized story. All in all, a fast and quick tale and look at what would have happened if things had not gone as planned with the moon landing. Not my usual choice of audiobooks but I am a fan of the narrator so I wanted to check it out.
I agree with another review, where I would have liked to have seen this story expanded to be longer but it is still a story that will leave you thinking and thankful to be in the present.
The narration was really stellar, and even though it is an early audiobook in his career, it is still professional and well done. He has a great voice and uses it so many talented ways.

Short and very timely given the recent passing.
What did you love best about A Monument More Lasting than Brass?
It was timely ( Neil Armstrong having recently passed ) and very crafty in how history is only slighly recast to build the story .
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Monument More Lasting than Brass?
The resolution of the plot. Hard to discuss it without giving it wawy, but worth the 30 minutes to listen.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, although it sounded abit contrived at times.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Anyone alive during the Apollo missions should give this a listen.

This is an enjoyable short story. I would like to see it expanded into a full-length book, continuing on from where it leaves off.
