Re: "impeccably"

[L. Wayne Buinis]

I've scanned Dale Skran's review of A CIty on Mars and plan to read it in detail in future.

I retract my description of the book's state of being researched as "impeccably" - thanks, Dale!. I agree with the Weinersmiths assessment of difficulty but I believe human ingenuity and perserverance will, as always, rise up to all challenges of exploring that "final frontier".

Dale L. Skran LLC <dalels...@gmail.com>: Feb 22 12:33AM -0500 You may find of interest in my *very* long review of *A City on Mars *found here:   https://nss.org/wp-content/uploads/NSS-JOURNAL-Critique-of-A-City-on-Mars.pdf   Needless to say, I would describe *A City on Mars* as far from being impeccably researched, although there is much of value in the book.   I withhold comment on "*Becoming Martian*" since it is new and I have yet to read it, and reviews sometimes mistake what the author is saying due to the reviewer's agenda.   If you find any errors in my critique, I would like to hear about them.   Best Regards,   Dale Skran dale....@nss.org           On Sat, Feb 21, 2026 at 12:33 AM L.

Philip De Parto <sfab...@gmail.com>: Feb 22 01:19AM -0500 While Dale does warn that this is a LONG review, people should be aware that it is 90 pages long.   I do not intend to read it myself, but folks Stephen Rubin, Thomas Schoenborne, and David vun Kannon may find it of interest.   Dale is a former SFABC speaker and active in the National Space Society.   Phil   On Sun, Feb 22, 2026 at 1:12 AM Dale L.
