Chapter 11 reintroduces a character from Martian Justice, Harlan Jones. We’ll see more of him later, too. Anyway, enjoy!
My last blog post concerned the stability of three-legged stools. What I hadn’t expected were the responses on a totally different sort of stool. Probably more than I had ever imagined learning about stools. Still, appreciated.
Chapter 10 is more on the WestHem blackmail program. Enjoy!
There are lots of wonderful quotes about three-legged stools. Heinlein mentioned history, languages, and mathematics, lest you an ignorant peasant be. The Social Security Administration suggests social security, private pensions, and savings. Krieger says nutrition, fitness, and wellness. Others have said family, friends, and work; communication, trust, and respect; hope, faith, and charity; etc. I guarantee none of these deep thinkers had in mind Mars, EastHem, and WestHem. Something to think about, anyway. Enjoy!
Chapter 7 is all about the Martian Navy. Enjoy!
My wife isn’t a big fan of military stories, but she read Greenies so she could get the background for Martian Justice. What with all the current reporting on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she has been commenting to me how it seems like the Greenies and WestHem. I told her she was more right than she knew. A couple of days ago the Ukrainians sank the Moskva, the Russian flagship, with a pair of Neptune cruise missiles. I googled the Moskva and learned it was the ex-Slava, a guided missile cruiser designed to shoot down cruise missiles. Then I learned the Neptune missile is a Ukrainian designed and built variation on the Russian Kh-35 anti-ship missile. Sounds like those sneaky Greenies were able to get the WestHem torpedoes working after all.
