In 2011, astronauts Brian Harper and Jocinda Fowler are on a Space Shuttle mission to repair a satellite when Harper witnesses a mysterious black swarm attack the orbiter, killing a crewmate and incapacitating Fowler. After an eighteen-month long investigation, nobody believes his explanation, human error is blamed, and Harper is fired. Ten years later, conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman, who believes the Moon is an artificial megastructure, steals time on a research telescope and discovers that the Moon’s orbit is veering closer to Earth. He attempts to share his findings with Harper, who dismisses him, leading Houseman to go public on social media. NASA independently discovers the anomaly and mounts a mission on an SLS Block 2 to investigate the abnormality.
The same swarm that had attacked Harper’s mission reappears, killing all three crew members after they drop a probe into a kilometers-deep artificial hole in the Moon. As the Moon’s orbit continues to deteriorate, it falls closer to Earth, causing cataclysmic disasters such as tsunamis, gravitational abnormalities, and atmospheric dissipation. Fowler, now the deputy director of NASA, learns that Apollo 11 had discovered abnormalities in the Moon, and a two-minute radio blackout was to block out inexplicable data in which the Moon supposedly resonated strongly from the impact of Apollo 11’s jettisoned fuel tank. A military program code-named ZX7 had created an EMP to attempt to kill the swarm, but was abandoned for budget reasons.
