Taking life support for granted

By Mel Green | Published: Wed, 14 October 2009

Pina Chomko: s a story character in my novel-in-progress Cold. She's not like us: she grew up in outer space. Her dream: to take for granted all the life support services that nature provides for free -- just like us.

Biospherics

By Mel Green | Published: Mon, 12 October 2009

My October reading list

By Mel Green | Published: Wed, 7 October 2009

What I'm reading, or at least looking at, in the rundown to NaNoWriMo 2009: space exploration, growing food in space, consensus government, & more. I'll be writing Long Dark, about the people making the long journey between the stars to colonize another solar system.
