The prospect of using lunar resources for construction of massive solar arrays in Earth orbit attracted considerable attention in the 1980s. No business case has been offered for use of outer space resources on Earth, but demand for space resources can be created in Earth orbit and beyond. The pathway to sustainable operations in space is thru the use of space resources, the emergence of an economy based on space resources, and space settlement. The NASA approach using public-private partnerships is a step towards a future where commercial business can fund an increasing share of development costs and sustain operations in outer space.Īn approach led and funded by the government, as now recommended by Friedman, is not sustainable and is subject to major shifts with each new president or shift in domestic politics or geopolitics. That has been true for all of the Space Age, and I believe it will remain so.ĭependence on the political process to fund space exploration into the future is high risk. That is sensible if you believe that the purpose of human spaceflight is exploration and that its rationale is geopolitical. …the House Science Committee is pushing a policy more directed to Mars and away from commercial participation. In his recent commentary “For the United States, a second race to the moon is a second-rate goal,” Louis Friedman strongly rejects US leadership in human lunar missions that depend on commercial involvement. Philosophy Introduction: Learn some ancient wisdom from one of the world’s most influential philosophers.įew books have quite as complex a background as the Analects. With diligence and empathy for others, one can adhere to the Way. Virtuous behavior includes a devotion to learning and acting in accordance with your beliefs. Through virtuous actions, a leader can achieve effortless and harmonious influence. The teachings of Confucius are a response to the changes going on in China at the time. Introduction: What’s in it for me? Learn some ancient wisdom from one of the world’s most influential philosophers. These words of wisdom date back thousands of years, but they have remained remarkably relevant throughout the ages. The Analects is a collection of twenty “books” that contain valuable quotes and sayings from the Chinese philosopher Confucius, as well as his disciples. Love interests are around, but they’re realistic as can be given the circumstances. I mean, yes, some chivalry is there, but mostly the girls save themselves (and save the boys sometimes too). In case you haven’t guessed, the main reason this book works for me is the estranged best friends! Learning to work together again for survival! Their love/friendship must overcome all! Plus they are kind of badass (not unrealistically so) and though there are two boys in the story, the boys don’t take over the action and the girls figure out/plan how to get out of the bad situation themselves. Which it is if John McClane were two teenaged girls who haven’t spoken in nine months and four days. In fact, on Goodreads, I said the book was like Die Hard. It’s an action novel that hinges on two former best friends learning to trust each other again so they can survive. For another, it’s more plot- than character-driven which isn’t normally my thing.īut. For one thing, the alternating first-person narrative isn’t distinctive enough (Sera and Ariel sound exactly the same). Let me just say that I know (I know, I KNOW) that The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab isn’t the best written novel. On the Capitol steps, Trump vowed to put “only America First” in Park City, a genial romantic comedy from Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily Gordon, emerged as a festival favorite. The same day, The Big Sick premiered at Sundance - which provides a convenient beginning to the story of the last year or so in popular culture. On January 20, Trump was sworn in as president. A racist reality star was in the Oval Office and actual neo-Nazis were claiming Taylor Swift as their Aryan princess surely now was the time to scrutinize the content we consumed (binged, bought, shared, streamed, absorbed glassy-eyed) and determine what it actually said about the America we inhabited. It was the perfect year to take pop culture very seriously. The first year of Donald Trump’s presidency was one in which the destabilizing fact of that presidency was never far from mind - it made priorities clear, we told each other, unless it obscured them entirely. In 2017, it was possible to see parables everywhere. You have to be harder.” That’s Jared’s mother’s favorite saying. His other grandmother insists that “If you weren’t your dad’s and your momma tried to pass you off as his, I’d have slit her throat and left her in a ditch to die like a dog.” Jared’s far-northern west-coast Native community is closing in on him: his mom’s psycho ex-boyfriend, Death Threat, tries to kill him Jared is beaten senseless for his weed, essential to the cookie business with which he supports his father, who plays him for all he is worth his mom takes up with a biker who moves in along with his pit bull, Baby Killer. One of seventeen-year-old Jared Martin’s grandmothers insists that he is the son of Wee’git the Trickster, that dangerous shape-shifter who looks innocent but wreaks havoc. Son of a Trickster combines aboriginal belief systems and wacky family dynamics with fantasy, horror, and edgy, mordant humour in an unorthodox coming-of-age story. I was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life but “the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest.” Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. The woman paints the child’s experiences in her own fantasy. When I try to classify my earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present. The task of writing an autobiography is a difficult one. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist. It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of my life.
