Today turned out to be a pretty good writing day. I have gotten a full two chapter corrected and saved, bringing my total to 11 chapters edited and corrected. The novel was originally 29 chapters long, but that number is no longer valid. Current count is 30, but I knew new chapters a waiting to be composed. Still I am a good way into the latest version and I fairly happy with the results.
I have to doff my hat to my writers group for their truly invaluable assistance. Their sharp and helpful critiques have shaped and strengthened this novel. The narrative flows better and the book starts stringer thanks to their feedback. If the headaches stay away, and I see my headache doc tomorrow, then I should be able to maintain a good flow on this project.

Another interesting video I stumbled across. The NASA Design Reference Mission 5.0 for manned flight to Mars (DRM 5.0).

DRM 5.0 was intended to highlight use of elements from Project Constellation. Which makes the whole DRM 5.0 obsolete almost as soon as it emerged since Project Constellation was cancelled.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think DRM 5.0 is inferior to the earlier DRM 3.0.

Check out the new SpaceX video touting Commercial Crew Development. Note in particular the part beginning at the 65 second mark where they show the Dragon capsule used as a Mars lander!
