Speaking of Starships, really have to wonder about NASA spending on SLS when this is possible. <a href="https://hackaday.com/2022/08/05/bps-space-succesfully-lands-a-model-rocket/">https://hackaday.com/2022/08/05/bps-space-succesfully-lands-a-model-rocket/</a><br>

<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">One of my favorite books, Jochen. It was written by Kenneth Brower, David Brower's son. For those of you in a different generation, David was one of the founders of the environmental movement
in the 70's and founded many organizations, including Friends of the Earth. However, he made one fatal mistake in his career. He had the authority to help make the decision to trade Glen Canyon for Dinosaur National Park (never having visited Glen Canyon).
I knew David well, and he never got over what he had done.</div>

<div dir="auto">In a small shop in Tofino on Vancouver Island I spotted a nice book named "The Starship and the Canoe" about George Dyson and his father. Apparently George lived for a long time in a tree house in British Columbia while his father was thinking
about building atomic rockets that could reach Mars. Interesting book.</div>
