The Icarus Project

Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, and would be the most likely candidate of a planet to take apart for resources in order to construct humanity's first Dyson Sphere (an enormous cloud of solar panels in low orbit around the sun collecting power directly from the star itself). While most of this work would be done by automated drones, several teams of scientists and engineers would need to be dispatched to the lonely doomed planet in order to oversee the monumental undertaking.  This is a story about one such engineer dealing with the problems of unstructured time while millions of miles away from home and family.
