I had expected to reread and post more about Poul Anderson's
The People Of The Wind this evening. However, BBC 5 re-showed the first episode of Carl Sagan's
Cosmos. Then Brian Cox, a sort of British Carl Sagan, introduced a re-showing of the first (only?) episode of Gerry Anderson's
Into Infinity, starring Brian Blessed - who spoke to Cox on TV earlier this evening about his real life training for space travel.
Into Infinity, a sort of improved
Lost In Space meets
2001, is showing now but meanwhile I am tired from a late night last night and planning an early start tomorrow.
Cosmos, about galaxies and the history of science, is where Poul Anderson is at. Sagan's sf novel,
Contact, answered the questions:
Might faster than light travel be possible according to current scientific understanding?
If this universe was designed, where could the designers have left a message that would unequivocally be from them?
Posting about
The People Of The Wind will resume soon.
