Well, until we do, there's the pictures from Mars. :-) Curiosity has sent back some stunning photos.
It's true, they're fab too - but I think it's the actual human contact that draws me in, not just that we've sent cameras somewhere, but that a human being has done the same thing that I do - stood with a camera taking photographs - on a different world...

I'm very much enjoying Phil Rickman's book, and I'll definitely look at some of this others - though I do wish they'd used thinner paper and wider margins for printing, this particular copy is incredibly thick and hard to hold - and it doesn't need to be!

And yeay, s-f recs, just what I was looking for! I read s-f until it came out my ears, for years, but somehow it's been at least as many since I read any last, so... recs are helpful! Thank you! (I don't think I've read any of those either, or at least not that I remember - some familiar titles, though!) *g*
