All fanfictions and other non-commercial works based off of my fiction are OK, including any subject matter. No plagiarism (passing work off as your own) and I would prefer if those works be posted on a site intended for fanworks rather than Honeyfeed directly (with the exception of gallery-appropriate fanart).

    Tis concrit you asked for, and concrit you shall receive.
    -> The cold had never felt so close against the backdrop of the solar wind
    You're using a negative when I think you mean a positive—that the cold IS close. It makes the sentence somewhat confusing to parse. UPDATE: Seems you meant that it is in fact not cold. In general, I would just clean up this sentence, maybe replace it with your later full paragraph about the wind.
    -> the regular spacecraft
    Is there one, or many? You might mean the regular spacecrafts.
    I would leave the near of near-Earth orbit lowercased as that's the correct grammar, but that could also be a facet of your worldbuilding or style you want to leave be.
    I wonder why he's so zoned out in a dangerous situation. I guess he's expecting everything to be calculated right? But what are you even doing out there, Major.
    I do love the dreamy feeling. The paragraph of "suddenly, he was a child again" is really good. I love the cadence of the prose and the way it portrays the theme of the chapter.
    -> A roar filled his ears, and the roar blinded him
    Restating the subject within the same sentence is a bit awkward, use a pronoun. I was initially dubious of this roar with visual effects, but that seems to be very much what you intend—for it to sort of have this uncanniness because it's both auditory and visual? Still reads odd, but you may be cooking.
    -> he winced -> He winced
    The end of the story is so cool: the last couple lines really hit, and I love some good sci fi. Just realized this is a short story, not a first chapter. To make a more cohesive and compelling standalone work, I think you could make the theme of the character losing & then regaining his wonder stronger and more central to the story.
