These magazines are quickly becoming something I long for. I really must get some of the back issues when I have some spare money, because its something I can see myself collecting and reading over again as they are always so insightful.
Even my mum enjoyed this, as I read out bits to her. She found the Letters to Mars segment "brilliant". She says I'd have to read these to her if she were to buy it herself though, so she gets it. When I read to her that BFR stood for big fucking rocket she literally said "they didn't put that in that good, nice book!" which made me really chuckle!
I loved the discussion of living on Mars, especially because we got different perspectives of those who think it's possible within the next 10 years and those who believe it suicidal.
I tend to dread the challenge segment as they go on for so long and tend to bore me by the end as it feels quite newspapery, however once I got into this astronomy challenge it was actually interesting, probably due to the topic, though it still took me a while to get through.
Not too much discussion on fruit flies to warrant it being the title of this issue. It was mainly shown in the art work of Monica Barengo, rather subtly. But then there's the fact that it also goes by the title "space", which is definitely the stronger, more obvious theme, although still confusing that they have different titles for the same issue.
One of my most favourite things I'm finding with this magazine is that I'm always finding book reccomendations, so you can always tell when I'm reading Womankind as I spam Goodreads with books I suddenly want to read.
Overall, only my second issue but I'm a big fan already!
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
