I once heard a conspiracy about joint nations space agency having a space station on the other side of the asteroid belt. The person telling me this was talking in relation to the relatively slow technologic advancement of space shuttle technology.
Anyone heard this one before?
Read the first Foundation book. I get that it was initially written/publicised as a serial of short stories like Sherlock Holmes and that it was over 70 years ago... But I really didn't think it was all that. A little boring to be honest. Like it was building up to something then it it with nothing.
Don't get me wrong, the idea/theme is cool but the story didn't grab me. I'm working on book 2 now but it's just not hitting.
I've read the first few Dune books and a number of other sci-fis. I'm mostly a fantasy reader and like a good crime and realistic fantasy/drama reader.
Can someone let me know if it gets better from here or have I read the best so far and it's just not my thing?
