The Gutenberg Of The Galaxy …

Looks like LiftPort’s book is getting some much deserved attention.

Excerpt below.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut — but was told that I’d never be a pilot because back then, astronauts were Navy pilots first, and I’d never be a pilot because I had bad eyesight. Besides, as a girl, I’d have “other things” to worry about.

Later, in July, 1969, I camped with some friends on a mesa in New Mexico that overlooked a small site of Anasazi ruins. I remember one night in particular: I watched the seductive moon glowing against the night sky while a crackling voice over the radio talked about “a giant step for mankind … ” I remember thinking “Well, I’m earthbound, but maybe my kids can colonize Mars.”
