Research Sources
Before we get underway, and as the flight engineer goes through his pre-flight checks and the quartermaster makes sure all is loaded aboard ship that should be, here’s a list of the books I will be using for research, in addition to Wiki and any other sources I can track down, such as TV series like
The Planets and
Cosmos, Wonders of the Solar System and anything else I can rip off.
