Nightflight to Venus

A beautiful bit of paleo-futurism here… steam powered spaceships.

steam

Reminds me of Polyston by Adam Roberts – which would have been a great book, if it wasn’t for an insanely cruel bit in it… it was about a universe where the space between planets was breathable and you could fly between them in biplanes.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...

A celebration of laterality.

If you come they will build it.

By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
