THE EXPEDITION

In the year 2007, astronauts Jim Parker and Michael Murphy, aboard the space shuttle Charger II, were wrapping up a routine mission. Just prior to re-entry, they encountered a mysterious cloudbank in space and were never heard from again. Two years later, a metal box was unearthed at a construction site in St. Louis. In it was a previously unknown, yet apparently authentic, journal of the historic Lewis and Clark expedition – written by astronaut Jim Paker. Did Parker and Murphy end up on the Lewis and Clark expedition? And if so, did they alter history or did they save it?
