Christopher Mark Rose is an engineer for NASA spacecraft by day, a writer of speculative fictions by night. His work has appeared in Asimov's, Interzone, F&SF, and in Parker Solar Probe, DART, and the upcoming Dragonfly mission to Titan. He is an alumnus of the Viable Paradise Writers Workshop and founder of the Charm City Spec reading series in Baltimore. He hopes his writing is affecting, humane, and concerned with large questions.
