Greetings!
Still cranking on the space farm text, now very much in the end game for content creation phase, next putting in references, glossary, index. 280 figures drawn, 80ish tables made. Did three examples for how to figure out mass flow sans any complex math. The Target of the space farm book is a general interested audience, so eleminating techno-math stuff is key! I want an average adult to high schooler to look through and get the jist of what goes into designing a space farm, and how agriculture works in general. Would be a great resource for any budding sci-fi author or want to be farmer too. Targeting completed first draft with all indicies, etc. by EOM April. To publisher after that for hitting the presses by NSS ISDC 2022.
My SciFi novel is again in a sliush pile. still praying and hoping there.
Went out and started talking to the kids and others on what space engineering can look like, including a model yeast and photobioreactor at the St. Louis Science Center SciFest Engineering Day.
Talked to several hundred people of all ages, and explained how space settlements can use photosynthesis and how bioreactors work.
handed out these cards too:
among other goodies.
later,
Bryce
