2. What was Planet Thalassa like?
Thalassa was a very young and peaceful planet. Thalassa was a single large island in a huge, encircling sea. When the first colonists came to Thalassa, they had worked hard to make a new life – making farms and growing food, building towns and factories. In later years, with rich farming land and seas full of fish, the colonists descendants enjoyed an easy, comfortable life.

Leon and the other engineers had been woken by the scream of alarm bells and had fought to save the wounded starship. Something big hit them out in space and destroyed the starship shield.
5. Why was water important for the starship?
A starship travels through space at almost the speed of light. Unfortunately, space is full of bits and pieces of rock and other things, and at that speed anything that hit them would burn up the ship inmediately. So they carry a shield about a kilometre ahead of them , and let that get burned up instead. It´s the cheapest building material in the universe.

8. Why are there cities on Earth any more?
They disapeared for a number of reasons. When it became easy to see and talk to other people anywhere on Earth just by pushing a button on a computer, must of the need of cities was gone.

So all movement and travel became really simple. After that, people started to live where they liked, and the cities just slowly disappeared.

After the welcoming party, Leon couldn't sleep, so he decided to have a walk. Lora, who had seen him, went to the beach with the hope of meeting him there. She was sitting on a boat staring at the sea and Selene was bright in the sky filling the beach with golden light.

ResponderEliminar1. What ‘s Clyde’s occupation?
He is a modest fisherman from Palm Bay, a village in the planet Thalassa.
2. What was planet Thalassa like?
It was a young planet with only a single large island, which was increasing his area with the passing of time, in a huge, encircling sea.
3. How did Lora feel when she saw Leon?
At the moment she saw Leon, she knew a feeling of both fear and wonder, a feeling that her life would never be the same again: she fell in love with him.
4. What had happened to Leon’s starship when it was out in space?
It was wounded, because something big had hit them, destroying their water starship shield and forcing them to stop in Thalassa to repair it.
5. Why was water important for the starship?
Because they needed it for protecting the ship against space bits and pieces of rock, as the ship travelled through space at almost the speed of light and if anything hit the starship at that speed, it would burn up immediately. So Earthmen carried a water shield about a kilometre ahead of them, and let that get burned up instead.
6. How long had Leon been flying before he landed on Thalassa?
He had been flying before he landed on Thalassa for a hundred and four years.
7. How did Clyde feel about Leon?
He was angry and jealous because he thought that Lora only belonged to him and nobody like Leon (in his opinion an awful dancer) would snatched her away.
8. Why aren´t there cities on Earth any more?
Acording to Leon, it is because, when it became easy to see and talk to other people anywhere on Earth just by pushing a button on a computer, most of the need for cities was gone. Also, humans learnt how to turn off the pull of gravity, moving heavy things, like houses, through the sky without difficulty. So all movement and travel became really simple, people started to live where they liked and the cities just slowly disappeared.
9. What was starship Magellan like?
Lora´s opinion was that “it was a breathtaking endless (perhaps as much as four kilometres long) curving wall of metal”. It was full of fast-moving walkways and upwards through tunnels where there was no gravity. Also, there were a kilometre long engine room, rows of mysterious computers and strange machines, libraries with a huge range of information, a suspended animation room where tens of thousands colonists were sleeping till the arrival at the new world... That spacecraft was man-made and self-contained world and its aim was to led humans to a suitable young planet for living far away in the space.
10. How many colonists were travelling on the Magellan?
There were tens of thousands colonists travelling on the Magellan, accumulated in an enormous room, where they were arranged in rows. Each one of these humans was in a shining glass box, sleeping in suspended animation until the day of their arrival.
11. Who did Lora meet on the starship?
Lora met Leon´s wife and future baby (since she was a pregnant woman). She was sleeping at the suspended animation room and with that fact, Lora understood that her love story with Leon couldn´t continue any more.
12. What happens at the end of the story?
After knowing that Leon´s world had no place for her, both of them went back to the space bus and arrived to Thalassa, where they said goodbye each other. At that moment, an angry Clyde appeared there, looking for Leon in order to recover Lora, who calmed him down by telling that she would never see Leon again while she was crying. Then, the incredulous fisherman understood happily that she belonged to him again anda ll this anger disappeared immeadiately. Later, the last day came, and all the Earthmen went away, leaving a flushed with happiness Clyde and a disconsolated Lora, who finally understood that Leon´s life was not for her: they were very different and they belonged to unequal worlds, so they should have different lifes, none of them better than the other. In addition, she managed to appreciated her life in Thalassa, her beautiful planet.

The Songs of Distant Earth
1. What’s Clyde’s occupation?
He’s a fisherman. He’s to fish in the sea with his boat and tries to bring a lot of fish home.
2. What was Planet Thalassa like?
It was a young planet – still only a single large island in a huge, encircling sea. In time new land would rise up out of the sea, but not for many millions of years.
3. How did Lora feel when she saw Leon?
Lora knew a feeling of both fear and wonder, a feeling that her life would never be the same again.
4. What had happened to Leon’s starship when it was out in space?
It was destroyed when something big hit it.
5. Why was water important for the starship?
Because that a starship travels trough space at almost the speed of light and unfortunately, space is full of bits and pieces of rock and other things, and at that speed anything that hits the starship would burn up it immediately.
6. How long had Leon been flying before he landed on Thalassa?
He had been flying for a hundred and four years.
7. How did Clyde feel about Leon?
He felt really angry about Leon because he thought he was flirting with Lora.
8. Why are there cities on Earth any more?
Because when it became easy to see and talk to other people anywhere on Earth just by pushing a button on a computer, most of the need for cities was gone. Then people on Earth learnt how to turn off the pull of gravity, and once they can control gravity, they can move anything heavy, even houses, through the sky without difficulty. So all movement and travel became really simple. After that, people started to live where they liked, and the cities just slowly disappeared.
9. What was starship Magellan like?
It was like an endless curving wall of metal, of about 4 kilometres long, inside, it had many things like computer rooms, and you could go anywhere of it on fast-moving walkways.
10. How many colonists were travelling on the Magellan?
We don’t know exactly how many colonists were travelling on the Magellan. Approximately, ten of thousands of them on their way to a new world, sleeping in suspended animation until the day of their arrival. But we know that only fifty engineers were not sleeping so they would remember Thalassa.
11. Who did Lora meet on the starship?
Lora met on the starship Leon’s wife.
12. What happens at the end of the story?
Clyde lost his anger; the starship finished the shield and it gone away. Lora thought that the life in the starship was not for her and a final though of how the life will be for the colonists and for the Thalassians.
