Today, I'm finalizing my Lovecraftian Space Opera tale for the forthcoming Space Eldritch anthology. I thought I had a title ~
Islands in the Sky, but as of last night and a plot point breakthrough I have decided that that title just isn't sinister enough, so I'm raising an caffeine-induced alchemical Tulpa to come up with a new one.
This first image (and several following) is the X-20 Dyna Soar as in
Dynamic Soaring. In theory? This was to be a militarized space shuttle
capable of heading off the Soviets back in the late fifties and early
sixties. They would/could drop a load of ball bearings in the way of Soviet Soyuz capsules - because the Red's couldn't maneuver out of their flight trajectory. You can hear those doomed souls
here on the Clyde Lewis's Ground Zero show, toward the end of the program.

Even more eldritch space horror can be heard at more of my good friend Douglas Dietrich's interview on the latest
Feet to the Fire show of James Arthur Jancik.
