Summary

"Operation: Outer Space" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction story of self-discovery set against a backdrop of lunar exploration. Jed Cochrane, a television producer feeling lost in the shuffle of a crowded world, finds himself on an unexpected mission to the moon. Ordered to accompany a team led by a psychiatrist, Dr. William Holden, Cochrane is tasked with helping a troubled scientist named Dabney. Cochrane, initially cynical and grappling with his own sense of insignificance, begins a journey filled with both humiliation and awe as he confronts the realities of space travel. The narrative balances Cochrane's personal struggles with the wonders and potential perils of the unknown, hinting at deeper explorations of hope, human connection, and ambition in a technologically advanced future.
