   While listening to the mission control callouts, I couldn't help but be   
   happy I had _Sunburst and Luminary_, Don Eyles' memoir of writing LEM   
   software, including managing the burn and attitude during landing.   
      
   I think it was someone here who recommended the book, and I heartily   
   second it.

    Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a   
   future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered   
   virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.
