Something different : here's the latest scrap-metal sculpture at the Oswestry Ironworks, with some favourites in the background ... and my bike.

I'm enjoying reading "Shroud" by @aptshadow.bsky.social ... pleased to see it has an L2-type #SpaceElevator, as described in some of my recent @isecdotorg.bsky.social newsletter articles !
( OK, I described L1-type, they're shorter, but not suitable for Shroud ... but maybe later in the book ! )

Just finished reading "The Every" by Dave Eggers.
A Dystopian near-future : will our new tech and apps really improve us and the planet, with control in the hands of algorithms not politicians ? Do we all really want everything to be so much better ? Can an individual make a difference ?

After Mars I covered Jupiter, Saturn and their moons. For those I'm negative or neutral, except for Enceladus and Titan ... they will be covered in 2025 newsletters.
This image shows how many locations I could have discussed, but I didn't cover them all !!

Readers of the @isecdotorg.bsky.social newsletter may have noticed my series of articles in 2024 on 'Solar System #SpaceElevators', meaning away from Earth.
Most are negative or neutral (incl the Moon), but Mars appears quite feasible. Here's the intro and conclusions of Part 2 of my Mars article..

Unbelievable ! The review that @samwilsonwriting.bsky.social posted bears no resemblance to his book "The First Murder on Mars" !!
I'm attaching a photo of the book cover notes, I recommend it...
