Humans stuck in own Solar System, But Mirco Space Craft aren't, What is a Planet anyway, Hobbit finds writers and how to live on Venus

Sci Fi Pool Highlights for 20th August Include:
  • Humans will never get outside Solar System - According to the Joint Propulsion Conference recently in Hartford, Connecticut (yes I know I am disappointed I didn't get to go either) they have decided that the advances needed in propulsion technology to get us to go interstellar are un-feasible ... are they right or just short sighted?
  • So will Micro Space Craft go instead? - According to the 236th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (I know, I know, I missed that one as well) they have just invented a very thin covering which brings micro space craft closer to reality
  • What Does Planet Mean? - so we are stuck on this planet by the looks of tings ... but what exactly does planet mean, and what is one ... or not
  • The Hobbit writer search has ended - with Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson deciding that no-one can do a better job than they can, so they will do it themselves
  • How to live on Venus - in a floating Bubble apparently
