Laser Space Communications

I read Laser Space Communications as part of my Lonetracker research.  It’s pretty technical overall, at least for me, but it was an interesting read.  It seems to be fairly expensive to get a hold of so if someone is looking around for it I can lend it out.  *I wish I was better at physics.

I mentioned that week that I had read a book about terraforming worlds.

Terraforming: The Creating of Habitable Worlds

Very cool, very interesting, very inspiring.  I kind of want to start.    Let’s start raising the albedo of Mars.  Why can’t we get this ball rolling? Let’s do this.

It’s all very far in the future, of course and even having read the book I don’t trust myself to try to explain the process.  Instead…read the book!  It’s pretty great.

Also before I sign out: Time Dilation – Albert Einstein and the Theory of Relativity

Just something cool I found while doing a bit of research.
