THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you have a favorite book from childhood? What is it?  This goes with my post.  My favorite book was Trouble On Titan.  It was the first SciFi book I read.

Today I am musing about something related to my favorite reading group.  I love SciFI and have been a fan since I was very young.  I always wanted to go to space and when we landed on the moon I though that space travel would be possible in my lifetime.  We do have some.  Things like the space station but not what I had envisioned.  I think it is coming and I am supporting a project that might help make it possible.  I joined a Kickstarter campaign for the Light Sail.  Keep reading to learn more about Light Sail. If this fully funds my name will go to space.  All supporters will have their name on the sail when it deploys in 2016.  A test run was just completed and some glitches were overcome as the test sail fully deployed.  It was in low Earth orbit and has since burned up in the atmosphere.  The next launch sends it on it way across the solar system.  If you want to help with the journey into space join me in supporting Light Sail.  There are only 10 days left in the campaign.
