Having mastered probability lanes, man found an indefinite number of Earths\\u2014and everyone could have a planet all to himself, if he wanted. But there was one joker in the deal\\u2026 Living Space by Isaac Asimov, that\\u2019s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

Here\\u2019s the answer to our trivia question, Who authored the 1869 short story that introduced the first known fictional description of a space station? The answer, Edward Everett Hale who wrote \\u201cThe Brick Moon.\\u201d


Our story can be found in the May 1956 Science Fiction Magazine. You\\u2019ll find the sci-fi goodness on page 3. Living Space by Isaac Asimov\\u2026 


Why did I narrate this story? Two words, Isaac Asimov. We receive a lot of requests for Asimov\\u2019s stories and we do everything we can to keep our listeners happy. Although the idea of one family living on an entire planet seems farfetched it does seem like a request some people would make on an overcrowded earth if technology made it possible. This story has the feel of Philip K Dick\\u2019s The Man in the High Castle in some ways and the government lying to its citizens, while it may be infuriating, isn\\u2019t anything that comes as a shock. I enjoyed narrating Living Space and I hope you enjoyed listening to it.
