It looks familiar to me too but I can't place it.

The list of heroes you might name a spaceship after must be growing thin though, if they saw fit to name one after that idiot.

Wait, where's this from? Assuming it's just some random artist? It's quite cool, other than the name, haha.

Yea, I could swallow the 'moving backwards through time' quite easily, but I was wracking my head figuring out the relative points in all the stories, and who was alive when, etc. I thought the poet was brilliantly written - found him unbearable as he was meant to be. The Consul was too obvious, though. And the Wizard of Oz stuff at the end, wtf?

It's...an odd bit. But quite good. It's a headache inducing bit of a novel, as all books that deal with temporal issues are.

Well, Asimov was a famous advocate of nuclear power, he loved the stuff. I think he even wrote a few papers in defense of it?

And insist he doesn't want to bang her again. and again. and again.

Oh man, that would fit with the era, that's for sure.

If only someone had suggested to Asimov to make the space stations overtly nuclear powered, the entire book would have centred on just how awesome the space stations were, how the data was preserved thanks to the wonders of nuclear power, the best kind of power, etc.

Why would he want to investigate stuff when he can argue with the hippie some more?

And If he wasn't dead, I'd want to slap Asimov silly. You have a protagonist hunting for something through all of space. You find a planet that might hold a clue. You note space stations...dead, in orbit, around a world that has crumbled.

But do you go INTO those space stations, which have been preserved in the vacuum of space, and that, most likely, are perfectly preserved, with data, robots, and all?

The answers to ALL of their fucking questions were most likely on that first Spacer world's space stations. And they don't even THINK about checking them out.

What the ever loving FUCK?
