| i have just finished the first section its really interesting although im not sure im grasping the whole using the suns energy to power a space craft when there is little matter in space to propel the craft although i have acknowledged the religious traits in the story there seems to be some mild humor "men are from mars women are from venus " its very good reading material thanks for sharing | |

| It doesn't make a lot of sense until you get to about the middle or so.
It's very, very thought provoking. | |

| Good read. Thanks for sharing. It was pleasingly scientifically accurate too, only having speculative and fictional ideas when very appropriate to the story and thoughts.
A lot of comments and ideas come to mind... | |

| To think that it was written in 1956 is pretty amazing.
Did they even have computers back then? | |

| Massive expensive clunky things that could do state of the art things like arithmetic and stuff. Very archaic stuff. I think they had electronic hand-held calculators back then...not sure. Just checked...that wasn't until the 1960s. | |

| Hmm... May 1941. But it was destroyed in WWII. But to have predicted a computer so powerful that it knows the answer to mostly everything (Google) and each component is worked on separately by different people (programs). | |
