To H. R. Haldeman
From: Bill Safire July 18, 1969. IN EVENT OF POOP DISASTER:
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to
explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know
that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there
is hope for mankind in their corpulence.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's
most noble goal: the search for poop and understanding.

Been back on books a bit, trying to look at bad screen (ipad) less in the evening and stick to good screen (kindle)

Read the two 'EXPERT SYSTEM' books by Adrian Tchaikovsky - both pretty short read novellas, maybe they feel a little cramped and the setting / story wasn't given room to stretch, or maybe they're just small-scale stories? Anyway, I've read a few AT books and these weren't his best, the first one was ok but never felt like it got out of 2nd gear. The sequel I liked a touch better as it had a little more of the weird alien biologies stuff that I enjoyed from his spiders and octopus books, but still it wasn't blowing me away. If you see them for a quid maybe have a look, but not otherwise.

Also, Le Guin's 'LATHE OF HEAVEN' which was a lot more enjoyable - definitely had the 'classic era scifi' vibe emanating from it, but the story and the writing were top notch. Reading it I was thinking 'What else did I read that has this kinda storyline?' and it was Blake Crouch's recent-ish 'RECURSION' (which is totally a wrote-for-hollywood book but actually a lot of fun) but looking up further he claims to have not read LoH at the time of writing Recursion; I'm rubbing my chin here.

Finally I picked up qntm's (is this our boy?) 'THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION' and enjoyed it a lot, the whole SCP thing has been done to death as are most public ballpit story worlds, but this was well written and compelling; if you like your Stross books this will probably be a good pickup for you. It's also available online to read free if you can't spare a pittance to put it on your e-reader: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub
