One of my favorite authors has moved on to what’s next (honestly nobody knows).

A Fire Upon the Deep remains one of my favorite stories written by him. 

He will be missed on this side for sure.

Vernor Vinge (1944-2024)

Whilst tunneling on the Internets (a series of tubes), I came across The Catacombs - Comprehensive guides to Space 1999. A breakout of all things Space 1999. I loved the series as a kid. I have even purchased the remastered BlueRay versions. If you have not checked it out I recommend it. Its campy and worth your time if you like science fiction.
