I credit mike for this post. I was looking for a scifi short story he read years and years ago about a guy who illegally transports a dying man to the moon and leaves him there to die and after googling "short story dying man left on moon", I quickly came across this. Fascinating man, Tsiolkovsky that is.. possibly mike too.
