Saturn V

 

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is talking about populating Mars, but this was 1994. It is still full of really interesting observations and we are now moving towards Saturn.

The Voyager 1 and II missions are somewhere out there but maybe not transmitting now. Launched in the seventies here is a current link from NASA that tells us where they are.

 "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig is on my shelf as the next hard copy read. 

I have resumed "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.

The music is "Saturn 5" by The Inspiral Carpets

Mars Bound

  

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is now Mars-bound with discussions on human vs robot astronauts. The latter being cheaper and safer. There are observations on the commercialisation of spaceflight too.

The Voyager 1 and II missions are somewhere out there but maybe not transmitting now. Launched in the seventies here is a current link from NASA that tells us where they are.

Bully For You

 

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is absorbing and I am now over halfway through. I was semi-shocked to find out the Apollo missions were not to explore or for the enhancement of scientific knowledge, but to show the world that the USA had the ability to build big rockets that could be used to nuclear payloads, ie to show the world that they are the biggest bully.

Black Skies

 

 "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is getting more interesting with each page turn. It mentions the contents of discs sent with teh Voyagers, but now toucheds on how different planets have different colours due to their atmospheres but once you get above the atmosphere the shy is black but the stars are brighter.

Robots And Engineers And Carl Sagan

 "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is getting more interesting by the page. While astronauts and money men are credited, the real heroes of the Voyager 1 and II missions are the engineers. Lauunched in the seventies and still going. Here is a current link  from NASA that tells us where they are.

Jupiter And Saturn And Carl Sagan

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is engrossing, telling the stories of the Voyager ships sending back information about Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. Sagan points out that these are unmanned ships and worries about the term manned as these projects involved women as well and the word crewed could be miscontrued if spoken.

I wondered when this was published and it was 1994, well before mobile devices became available properly to the world.

Space Is Deep

 "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is high concept but an excellent read. It skirts the religion/science battle very well and, of course, science wins. I am over a fifth of the way through just going through the description of what aliens would see in orbit above the Earth.
