The Sunday morning program on (American) National Public Radio
had an interview with Elizabeth Weil, who has just written a
book on Rotary Rocket.  The book is: They All Laughed at
Christopher Columbus: An Incurable Dreamer Builds the First
Civilian Spaceship (Bantam; ISBN: 0553108867).

The interview is available from the NPR web site at:

Someone smarter than me may be able to actually download the
audio file and save it for posterity; all I can manage to do
is play it through RealAudio.

By coincidence I had bought this book (at Borders) on Friday.
I'm halfway through it.  The basic theme is that Gary Hudson,
all the people around him, and all the people who share his
dreams (such as the attendees of Space Access '98, where she
was taking notes) are just little boys who refuse to grow up.
Her superior attitude is irritating, as are the many factual
errors.

Cheers!
