I'm reposting improved versions of my "Worlds for Man" space colonization essays on Fantastic Worlds, and I'm planning on finishing the series this time around. Here are the ones I've posted already:
"Part 0 - The Sun"
http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-for-man-part-0-introduction-and.html "Part 1 - Mercury"
http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/04/worlds-for-man-part-1-mercury.html and
"Part 2 - Venus"
http://fantasticworlds-jordan179.blogspot.com/2011/04/worlds-for-man-part-2-venus.html The following essays are available in their original form on Livejournal:
"Part 3 - Earth"
http://jordan179.livejournal.com/27589.html and
"Part 6 - Ceres"
http://jordan179.livejournal.com/167388.html It is systematic of my erratic approach to work that I skipped Luna and Mars to talk about Ceres! :)
