The Sun is ramping up on its next 11 year Cycle 25 of sunspots. Our next Intro topic was revisiting the sunspot numbers for the last couple of months. Without letting any spoilers out, all I can say is this book sounds interesting with the protagonist waking up in a hospital with total memory loss and the first part of the book dealing with how he recovers his identity and mission. His first book, “The Martian” has a great plot and his follow-up book about crime on the moon called “Artemis” was entertaining too. He really researches the science behind his plot lines. ![]() I told everyone that Andy Weir has a new book out called, “ Project Hail Mary“. ![]() We then plunged into Introductory topics starting with a new book. I’m like a kid in a candy store when it comes to picking stories and topics to share with the MASS group. But I can save that topic for the next meeting. In fact, at the 2 1/2 hour mark, I had to lop off the “Space Tourism” topic. I warned the group that this meeting could go long. It is hard to believe that our first meeting was on July 21, 2011. I’m excited because we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary of MASS. Our next get-together might be in-person. Hard to believe that we have saturated the market already. The first video had over 100 views and the second still hasn’t reached 50. ![]() I’m curious how our third recorded meeting will do with YouTube views. Keith did the honor of recording the meeting. A missed communication kept Dean away and Beth was meeting at the same time with her analog space mission team that will be getting together in Poland this July. We had a quorum with Keith, Hank, Harry, Silvio, Phil and myself there for our 75 meeting and 11th one using Zoom.
