Summary "Into the Sun" by John L. Chapman is a science fiction novella set in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a group of astronauts aboard a space ship that is inadvertently drawn toward the sun, presenting a dire scenario of impending doom. As their vessel approaches the blazing solar body, the characters grapple with the imminent threat of death and the ethical implications of survival when only one can escape. The narrative focuses on four crew members: Captain Rogers, the biologist Lejeune, the doctor Geitz, and the pilot Lane, who face the harrowing reality of their situation. After a meteorite damages their ship, they realize that only one of them can use the rocket capsule to escape, sparking debates about self-sacrifice and the value of life. Tensions rise as they confront their fate and decide who should be the sole survivor. In the end, as the ship drifts too close to the sun, they must come to terms with their choices, showcasing themes of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the search for meaning in the face of inevitable catastrophe.
