Power outage? Power outrage! Once again I draw attention to the problem of disinvestment in civic infrastructure and public goods, that is, the physical things that make society work for all of us and not just a select few. Also, An Analogy is drawn between atomic energy and chlorine.

Supplementary Show

2023–09–12 More from Science News Yearbook 1970, much of it about the Apollo 12 mission, which is my personal favourite. (Did not archive, and I may re–read)

Intergalactic Wasabi Mix – Ep 1005 – 2023/09/07

Tracklist:

Note:

* – This track is not a Kraftwerk remix or cover. LOL. It looks like this Soundcloud user, the source of the track I played, has gravely misidentified this track. Oh well. But I do love this Camouflage track anyway so I’m glad I played it! But still, the blame is on me for not doing my own research before the show. Oops! Sorry!

On Labor Day, thank a union worker for your freedoms! This show may be the only time this year you hear a mention of the “Helderberg War” for the abolition of feudalism, fought in upstate New York against Cornelius van Rensselaer. Also it looks as though I really am going to Loscon, and I may also be making a further venture into private minting.

Die of the Luna Project medalets, surrounded by its produce
The original Luna Project medalets were struck in 2008. One custom die was made, and the other side was a generic token die in a starburst pattern.
Stacks of Luna Project medalets, some packaged in flips with cards
One thousand of these medalets were struck on nickel-plated brass blanks, and shipped to me at the 2008 World Science Fiction Convention in Denver. This photo was taken after my return, and I had sold or given away some of them by then, so there are fewer than 1000 pieces pictured.

  • 2023–09–05 I begin reading from Science News Yearbook 1970. In addition to the Table of Contents, Preface, and Introduction (by Glenn Seaborg), I get through the chapter on the Apollo 9 mission, and also spend a little time reading an item which helps explain the global warming/cooling controversy which some people remember from the early 1970s.
  • 2023–09–08 After a couple of brief notices from a 1978 number of the Journal of College Science Teaching, I pick up again with Science News Yearbook 1970, reading (with my usual interspersed commentary) the sections on Apollo 10 and Apollo 11. Again this did not archive properly, but I recorded it locally and uploaded it to my own Webspace.
