A Ballad of Love and Glory, the Book

Some stories need to be told, even if they’re just a fiction take on the original tale, the one that was also fabricated by the usual suspects, you know, by the historians in charge of supposedly telling it like it is.

The Week in Review

September 24, 2021 SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience is back… It landed off the coast of Cape Cañaveral during the early night, on September 18. It marked the end of the Inspiration4 mission, a private space flight with four rich, really rich civilians on board that orbited the earth for three days without an aircraft commander. Yikes. It was a fundraising effort we are told. But, but, and adding an Ummm to it, me thinks it’s…

Las Mega-Rotondas, Segunda Parte

NOTA: La siguiente nota es la segunda parte de una versión ficticia de comunidades innovadoras que potencialmente podrían crearse en muchas partes del hemisferio occidental. O del mundo entero, además. * * * La amenaza de China se convierte en un rayo de luz Inicialmente, las Mega-Rotondas no estaban destinadas a ser tan grandes como eventualmente llegaron a ser.

The Mega-Rotondas of a Time to Come

NOTE: The following is a fictional take on innovative communities that could potentially be created in many parts of the Western Hemisphere. They might seem too utopian and unreal to some readers, but such arrangements make a lot of sense. To me, anyway. * * * Sometime in the mid-Twenty-Thirties They’re called “Mega-Rotondas” because they’re big and round. They’re really huge. The circumference in most of them is about six miles, close to ten kilometers…
