Sort Of Bedazzled

 "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig has started on normal-length chapters and is a bit more difficult than I expected. It posits that there may be other possible lives, and works on the premise that we can choose paths but not outcomes. Reminds me a bit about the film "Bedazzled" where the guy chooses a perfect life, but the devil finds a loophole to make it more than imperfect.

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

Clock Strikes Twelve

"The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig is a sort of easy read because none of the chapters has been longer than three pages, so I am fifty pages in after one day. I have just entered the library, but as yet, things are not hugely positive for Nora, although she has a replacement Voltaire.

Into The Midnight Library

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is complete and now I have started "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig which has started on a few downers, but it's Matt Haig so I know it will pick up.

Talking To Aliens

 "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan continues and is about listening for signals that may have come from intelligent life in the Universe but not on Earth. Eric Idle makes a very good point on this in "The Galaxy Song".

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.

World Exploding Touch

 

"Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan is moving on the asteroids and the sort of threats they pose to planets, including Earth. There are mentions of mining on them, deflecting their orbits and using them as bases and weapons to attack enemies on Earth that would result in the destruction of life on Earth.

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.

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.

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.
