Summary "The Feeling" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novella published in the early 1960s. The story explores the psychological and emotional challenges faced by a crew on a space mission to Mars as they experience an inexplicable and profound sense of longing and isolation known as "the Feeling." This psychological exploration delves into the nature of human connections and the idea of home. In the narrative, a crew aboard a spacecraft faces an unfamiliar emotional state while journeying to Mars. As the journey progresses, the crew members—Captain Maxon, Lieutenant Walraven, Lieutenant Vaughn, and Lieutenant Ragan—begin to experience a growing sense of unease and homesickness, which they refer to as "the Feeling." While they initially focus on the possible malfunctions of the ship’s psi-drive, they ultimately come to realize the Feeling is rooted in their human experiences and connections to Earth. Through discussions, the crew acknowledges that their emotional pain may stem from being physically and psychologically uprooted, suggesting that the human race has an inherent need for community and belonging. Ultimately, they confront the complexities of their identities in isolation and find a way to cope with their circumstances, leading to a poignant reflection on human existence.
