Ellison: Not so fast on Star Trek work
by Doc on Dec.22, 2009, under Movies

Willy Ley, Science Popularizer Extraordinaire
by TheThunderChild on Dec.22, 2009, under General News
The Thunder Child webzine has begun experimenting with Hubpages, and to that end we’ve uploaded an article about Willy Ley there.
Willy Ley, one of the founders of the German Rocket Society and an acknowledged expert on the subject, left Germany as soon as Hitler came to power (out of conviction rather than fear, as he wasn’t Jewish) and eventually settled in the US, where he became friends with Isaac Asimov and a host of science fiction writers, wrote science essays for Galaxy, and so on.
