A Mission of Gravity

Hal Clement

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Adrian Tchaikovsky recommends it
A Mission of Gravity is one of those older stories, it’s from the mid 1950s, and it’s one of those I was aware of for a long time, because it is talked about a great deal – and very justifiably.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
