Childhood's End

The Star Beast

Tu, Vos

Interlingua is like French, Spanish, Portuguese, and the like because there are the familiar-formal, young-old, and singular-plural distinctions embedded in its "tu versus vos" pronoun dichotomy for the English counterparts of you.  Interlingua preserves the naturalness from Latino languages.

The Chessmen of Mars

I saw this book The Chessmen of Mars with exactly that cover when I was a child in the Philippines.  It was at a bookstore in Metro Manila.  Then began my growing fascination with sci-fi.

Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy

Le cycle de fondation

The Martian Chronicles

A Princess of Mars

Agencia Boliviana Espacial

The Bolivian Space Agency or Agencia Boliviana Espacial has satellites around Earth orbit.

MOM and MAVEN

India's space agency ISRO has their Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) aka Mangalyaan now in orbit around Mars, as it takes pictures.  This spacecraft is contemporaneous with American NASA's MAVEN, also now orbiting Mars.

Non-youth

Strangers have been expressing their non-youth for several years now.  What should people do about it?

Non-brown English Culture

People forget I'm living in an English country.  It's not brown, here.

Propagandists and Life

The propagandists should take account of their own actions.  They're promoting the ideas of poverty and misery.  They don't have the French joie de vivre.  They don't have the Greek kefi.  When will they learn?

Star Wars

I grew up with Star Wars, which is more like science fantasy.  I enjoy reading the Japanese version of the novels, based on the movies.

Star Trek

I grew up with all the Star Trek shows.  I know the shows are just a model of what the far future could be, as in a military spacecraft or space station.  The real future could be entirely different, though.

Capitalism

If people stick with Capitalism, we'll have to tolerate the rollercoaster ride that goes with the central casinos.

JUICE

Europe's space agency ESA is investing hundreds of millions of euros on JUICE, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer.

Luna and Mars

The Russian space agency Roscosmos wants to see their people in habitats on the moon.  Good news!  American NASA turns to Mars, which the Japanese have codenamed Planet-B.

Nineists and Elevenists

Nineists promote the longevity of constructivism, whilst Elevenists revel in destructivism.

Zeroists and Tenists

The Zeroists cherish the wordless Void of Everything, whilst the Tenists have laws and rules to guide their life.

Oneists and Twoists

Oneists believe in the solitude and unity of their deity, whilst Twoists believe in Nature's dualities of light-dark, male-female, et cetera.

Sixists and Eightists

Sixists ponder about the paradox of learning and ignorance, and they believe the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, whilst Eightists rejoice in the art and architecture of their ornate places of worship.

Threeists and Sevenists

Threeists are theocentric, believing in a god or gods, whilst Sevenists believe in Nature's many spirits.

Fourists and Fiveists

The Fourists think the universe is an illusion, a phantasm, whilst the Fiveists think the universe has real substantiality.
