"Thanks! And it ought to be Gene Roddenberry, not Ray Bradbury- I get those pesky SciFi dudes confused...."

Great point. Gets me thinking. Are you more Roddenberry (the optimist) or Bradbury (the pessimist)?

I really like Bradbury's style more. The Martian Chronicles was a favorite of mine. It is easy to imagine Bradbury's "Rocket Summer" where people are fighting to get on one of Elon Musk's rockets to Mars full of beautiful people while war, famine or other calamity faces Earth and the ordinary folks left behind.

But I certainly hope we end up more Roddenberry.

Do not drive faster than you can see, you do not want to hit that "deer" (space rock) that is in your way.

Thanks Army Air Corps. If we hadn't gone off on the digital tangent of CDs and such, and stuck with vinyl records, we'd have cracked the warped drive by now. Wait, what?
