Jim Bell is coming out with a new book this November titled Postcards from Mars.
The details are here: http://www.postcardsfrommarsbook.com The book's subtitle, "The First Photographer on the Red Planet", has me wondering how that will make all the previous Mars probes feel. Except maybe Mars 3 - there's just nothing you can do with that image. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
