Summary: "So you're a drug-addicted messianic cult dedicated to drinking your own distilled urine so your descendants generations down the road can grow palm trees. How's that working out for you?"

Part of the fun of reading this story is figuring out which well-known science-fictional planets these are, but you don't need to know them in order to enjoy this story. The first four sections vary from good to very good, serious to funny, but the last one is just stunning, haunting, evocative, and makes this story a must-read.
