BEGIN THE ADVENTURE : How to Break the Light Barrier by A.D. 2079 (3rd ed.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This edition, the third, has undergone a subtle name change, going from A.D. 2070 in the title to A.D. 2079 as the timeline is fine-tuned. Because of the almost universal failure to recognize the distinction between physical (reality-based, dynamical ...

Sublimation rates of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from comet nuclei at large distances from the Sun [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the more attractive among the plausible scenarios for the major emission event recently observed on Comet Halley at a heliocentric distance of 14.3 AU is activation of a source of ejecta driven by an icy substance much more volatile than water. As
