Well, I don't know how new it is, but I just noticed that Mark Whittington has a blog. I guess he's been too modest to tell me about it.

He's just published a space-related novel--an alternate history of the program since Apollo. Because I haven't read it, I can't recommend it (or disrecommend it), other than to say that it's an interesting premise. But those who do come here for the space stuff might want to check it out.

He has a post today that describes the book, and is closely related to my Fox News column.

I've been reading his site since early December after I searched for the word "curmudgeon."

Rand - Thanks very much for the plug. Whether the story I tell in Children of Apollo is any good or not, I suspect only the reader can judge, since no premise, no matter how interesting, can carry a bad story. I think it's a good story, as have the few people who read the book during it's production. The premise, at least, has been something that has haunted me ever since the early 1970s.

PS: I Thought I had sent you, Glenn, and some others E-Mail when I started my blog. Probably that slipped through the cracks (g).

You may have. I get a lot, unfortunately. Maybe if you'd put in the subject: "I Just Got My Webcam!!!!!!"
