Turns out there’s intelligence on both sides of the console, Caulfield and Frazz . . .

Today’s outer-space Frazz reminds me of my current fiction read: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.  I was lucky to read Weir’s first book, The Martian, before the movie trailer spoiled things.  I didn’t read Weir’s second book, Artemis because it sounded a lot like The Martian.  But I was at Books-A-Million last week and saw that he had released a new story.  Knowing that I had 11 hours in the air coming up, I made the purchase.  It’s a good read, well-paced and interesting.  And, much like The Martian, it’s the kind of book where you feel like you’re learning stuff all along the way.
