"Give me a synopsis, what's this thread about now?"

The most momentous event of recent date is the birth of Tax-Chick's baby, Daniel Edmond. We've been following Mom and Baby for some time now.

As far as the thread goes, a few months ago, we sent an expedition to the Moon, to test our Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines. We left some robots and a Science Module.

Then on December 27^th, we blasted off from our ocean site near Eniwetok Atoll, circled Earth a few times and then went alarmingly close to the Moon on a flyby. After gaining a bit of momentum from that maneuver, we turned and went past the Moon again, to correct our angle of trajectory toward Mars.

We should arrive at the Martian orbit in late April. Until then we're just rotating our three habitat masses around the central Thrust Ring, and going through our daily activities as if we were still on Earth, except at only .34 gravities.

You can catch these links on my about page. I've also posted links to the Original Undead Thread, the Bride of the Undead Thread, and all their Undead Spawn.

Also on my about page is a description of a visit to the Flying Castle which is excerpted from a future book. It is listed as "Chapter Seventeen," and it gives a first-person description of seeing the "Flying Castle" in space!
