Synopsis
|
In a
sub-tropical
London, surrounded
by paddyfields,
the people
photosynthesis.
In the Child
Garden, the
Concensus is
educating the
children by virus,
infecting them
with social
conformity.
Milena's
immunity will
alienate her: but
it will also make
her fall in love,
pursue her art,
and become the
most extraordinary
woman of her age. |

Review
|
Winner
of the Arthur C
Clarke Award
'Remarkable.
Dark and painful,
but also comic, it
is the most
extraordinary
work'.

Dr.
Goddard's
Rocket
Aviator
Charles
Lindbergh
took this
picture of
Robert H.
Goddard's
rocket, as
he peered
down the
launching
tower on
Sept. 23,
1935, in
Roswell,
New
Mexico. In
1935,
Goddard
launched
the
A-series
of tests
on rockets
made with
gyro-controlled
blast
vane,
which
stabilized
the rocket
during
flight.
Dr.
Goddard
has been
recognized
as the
father of
American
rocketry,
as well as
one of the
pioneers
in the
theoretical
exploration
of space.
His dream
was the
conquest
of the
upper
atmosphere
and
ultimately
space
through
the use of
rocket
propulsion. |
