Also docked to the space station is SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule that ferried four astronauts to the ISS in March, and a Russian Soyuz capsule that delivered three others in September. Stich acknowledged that at least one of those vehicles could provide an alternative ride home for Wilmore and Williams.

cereal1 parable of the sower was written over 30 years ago before widespread adoption of the internet and other major technological innovations and social changes. how much could she really have gotten right?

Beginning in 2024, when society in the United States has grown unstable due to climate change, growing wealth inequality, and corporate greed, Parable of the Sower takes the form of a journal kept by Lauren Oya Olamina, an African American teenager.

Listen to the interview where she just took what all her teacher friends were telling her in the 1990s and she just extrapolated it all! I find it really sad that she gave up on Parable of the Trickster cause she realized how difficult living in space actually was.

In the book NASA has a host of issues with a mars mission including an astronaut dying but in the timeline of the book it basically gets sold for parts and privatized.
