I’ve been AWOL for a while on the SF Obscure front. So I need to jumpstart my updating.
I’m joining in on Long and Short Reviews Wednesday blogging challenge with some other romance writers. So here goes…
What would I do with a million dollars?
I thought of the usual things, such as paying off my mortgage, putting things in savings, making investments. And that is probably realistically what I would do. But there is a part of me that would love to reserve a seat on a space flight. I know it requires a lot of training and health tests, but being able to leave the planet would be worth the opportunity. If I am too old by the time it’s ready, I’m sure my daughter would be at the right age and ready for an adventure. Virgin Galactic is still taking reservations. Prices go for $250,000 (US.) That’s leaves some money left over, but I figure purchasing travel insurance may be fairly hefty.
With any remaining funds, I’d make a concerted effort to track down out of print SF books that I’d like to have.
Of course, I’m still holding out for a career in STARFLEET.

Oh my word, what a GREAT idea!! I’d never have even thought of it. Someday, maybe space flight WILL be as effortless as the movies show us…

It might be way, way in the future, but I really hope space flight becomes a possibility for far more people.

Oh, that would be exciting! Astronauts get to see the world in a way that the rest of us can really only dream about.

I love that idea! My granddaughter wants to be an astronaut (right now anyway)… what a fun thing to do. My more practical post is here: https://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2019/01/wednesday-weekly-blogging-what-i-would.html

If I weren’t so carsick and knew I’d be a mess trying to fly again, I’d be up for spaceflight. Sounds cool. 🙂
