Weekend Reads - 171027



Here are some articles I've been reading and thinking about this week. There is an article on writing short stories, the reason to read lots of books, a few articles about changes to social media and come points to think about before posting on social media. There is also an update on NASA's latest rocket engine which may get us to Mars.

Speaking about short stories, add my latest post Unfinished Tales | Shadow Worlds | Part One to your reading this weekend.

So when you have some time to relax and read enjoy the following articles with your favourite beverage.

Exploring Mars just got a whole lot easier. One does not simply fly to Mars using borrowed tech from other space missions. Before mankind can achieve Elon Musk's dream of colonizing Mars, we need a more efficient and safer means of travel, which is why engineers at NASA and the University of Michigan have been developing new engine prototypes.
