Writing Prompts: Space

You don't see a lot of space stories as you do with other genres. Space kinda of freaks me out at the thought of what it might be like for some of the astronauts in movies and books. But in the end, they are still entertaining and full of suspense. I have compiled another list of writing prompts so here you go!

• You're an astronaut on the first mission to the moon since 1970's. You begin to dig for samples in the soft sentiment when your shovel hits something soft, yet tough. You brush the dirt away, revealing a dead man in a bloody spacesuit.
• The last message from the starship was "Let us drift. It's for your own good." Explain why.
• After no contact from outer space, the space center finally receives an alien radio signal with only seven words, "The birds are not what they seem"
• You are a space traveler on a mission has gone wrong. Your ship is headed towards a black hole, and you expect to die. However, once you enter it, you are surprised at the strange outcome.
• Turns out humanity is wrong. Atlantis isn't a city, it's a planet.
• From the depth of space, a signal is received containing the message, "Be quiet. They will hear you."
• You were born on a colonizing spacecraft on its way to a distant star. You are part of the middle generation. Born too late to have seen Earth and born too early to live to see your destination.
• "Mum! He turned the gravity off again!"
• The year is 2020. The first astronauts have landed on Mars. They find a cave with a single human skeleton and four words written on the wall.
• Governments all over the world cease all space programs. Ten years later, a rebellious group is about to launch into space and they find out why space programs ceased.
• Aliens came to invade earth and effortlessly wipe out the human race, only to be fought off by the wildlife.
• While a ship is floating in space, a coming meteor shower damages the outside. When the astronauts look outside, you see rocks surrounding your ship- and a floating space suit with a dead astronaut inside. Except all of your crew is accounted for.
