About this listen

Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting... is a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, originally published in Dude magazine in 1959. It's a science fiction narrative that, like Clarke's other works, explores the intersection of science, technology, and humanity. The story's title also serves as a fitting tribute to Clarke himself, as it was his idea to put a communications satellite into geosynchronous orbit, a concept that has been instrumental in modern communications.

The story follows a group of people who have settled on the moon. They are the first generation to have listened there, and they are in constant communication with the Earth through the satellite, which is endlessly orbiting above. The story explores the themes of human connection, the evolution of technology, and the challenges of living in a new environment.
