    @SFFMagazineCovers Back in the 1950&#39;s it was unclear if space suit gloves were even possible. You need to make the various protective layers thin enough to be able to fit between adjacent fingers. And with miniature constant volume cuffs at each finger joint. Some suit designers took a tip from deep sea diving suits and postulated mechanical pincers instead of gloves. https://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacesuits.php#glove

    &amp;quot;And both stories&amp;quot; (The Martian, Project Hail Mary) &amp;quot;posit that for anyone stranded under these conditions, the most important assets are accumulated knowledge, patience, curiosity, and the understanding that you need collaborators. Not magic, not muscle, not weapons, not even bravery, really. Just this: Know your stuff. Stay calm. Solve one problem at a time. Get help.&amp;quot; https://www.npr.org/2026/03/20/nx-s1-5738164/project-hail-mary-review-ryan-gosling

    One of the science fiction themes I enjoy is that of progress, people building things. That is one of my comfort reads. The Stardock Trilogy by Sean Fenian The Genesis Fleet Trilogy by Jack Campbell The Cosmic Computer (aka Junkyard Planet) by H. Beam Piper Space Viking by H. Beam Piper The Crucible of Time by John Brunner The Lunar Free State series by John E. Siers Wizard&amp;#39;s Bane by Rick Cook
