Richard Carter’s fascinating exploration of his local grouse-moor in West Yorkshire digs deep into natural history, human history, prehistory, and the history of science. His writing is grounded, insightful, and frequently hilarious, and he shows how falling in love with your own local patch can be a gateway to the whole world.
—Neil Ansell, author and journalist

This version has no atmosphere!
Oh come on, someone had to say it!
I does rather lack the gravity of the original!
With all this excitement over Hadfield & the ISS (which I applaud) I think someone should point out that much much further away, there is a little-remembered rover called Opportunity hard at work nine years into it's 90-day mission, and still making some of its most important discoveries: http://marsrover.nasa.gov/mission/status_opportunityAll.html#sol3303
Don't forget our poor little martian.
This is of no relevance to the previous comments - but is a test to se whether (after months out of the game) I'm now able once again to contribute to the joyous stream of nonsense that is Gruts...
It looks as if you are, Zim. Welcome back!
I'm back in the game! Let joy be unconfined!
