Initially required by corporate superiors to play only outer-space-related Terran hits of yesteryear, and to report on the weather (alternately freezing or boiling), we first encounter the unnamed DJ in the midst of realizing that these same superiors aren't listening at all - and may not even exist. Contemplating their simultaneous freedom from oversight and terror at being abandoned at a radio outpost that nobody in the universe may be listening to, the sole host of Luna FM digs gleefully into obscure troves of moon-themed uncommercial indie rock, wonders at the hubris of human space exploration, and sends still-hopeful messages of connection into the outer reaches of the universe before finally abandoning his solitary post on the Sea of Tranquility and striking out for whatever’s left on Earth
