| About |
(long exposure, walked tripod desat & tint.)
This month a book by an anonymous author in Ashburton has been reprinted for the first time since 1881.
May not be a good read but key points:
-relates human colonization of other planets
-describes space craft, space suits, airlocks, the need for heat control when entering another planets atmosphere, zero gravity conditions and the need for exercise on long space flights.
-impact of human beings on allien culture.
-and... the tabloid reviews say "free love" and "sex with aliens"!!!
In 1881 Ashburton in the mid canterbury plains was swamp being drained for pasture -flax and cabbage trees as shown here.
"the great romance" by "the inhabitant"
Published as a series, two volumes extant, there may have been another.
Down the road 21 tears later, in 1902, a year before The Wright Brothers made history at KittyHawk, New Zealander Richard Pearse was the first man to fly. In a bamboo craft just in from Timaru, about a hundred ks south of Ashburton. :)
