Your 10 Best Science Updates of June

Your 10 Best Science Updates of June as curated by me, Andy Zach. I’ve always loved science; that led to me becoming a science fiction writer. Now I’m seeing science overtaking the science fiction of my youth, in the distant 60s.

Let’s start, shall we?

Your 10 Best Science Updates – Begin Here

I love watching old videos of our astronauts on the moon. Here we have the Apollo 15 crew dropping a hammer and a falcon feather (the space ship was named ‘Falcon’) in the moon’s vacuum. Galileo said four hundred years ago they should hit at the same time. Do they? Reply to this post or email me the answer and I’ll send you a free Zombie Turkeys ebook.

Here’s Your Next Science Update

What will you find in this science article? Oh, growing new organs from scratch. Also, you’ll find an inhalable drug to fight COVID-19. And then you’ll learn about AI used to manage vaccines. No science update would be complete without a supermaterial. It’s in here. Finally, you get a molecular breakdown of virii. Just what you wanted.

Number Three: Your Quadrennial Flying Car Report

“Quadrennial? Why would you use that weird word, Andy?”

Thanks for asking! I’ve kept at this blog for four years and this is my first flying car report. So enjoy!

FYI, I have a flying skateboard in my novel, Paranormal Privateers.

Your Next Foray Into Science Starts Here

For those who don’t click on any articles, let me summarize: neutron stars may be up to 2.3 solar masses. The lightest black hole so far is about 3 solar masses. The astronomers have discovered an object of 2.6 solar masses.

So what is it, blog readers? A black hole or a neutron star? The first one to contact me with the correct answer can get any book of mine for free.

Your Fifth Science Article Coming Up

I love outer space video, especially beautiful ones like this. How about you?

Seven Come Eleven–er Your 10 Best Science Updates

Here’s a science story about SpaceX commercially launching over 100 spacecrafts into orbit. Any of you read Robert Heinlein’s novella, The Mon Who Sold the Moon? It’s all about commercialization of spaceflight. If you read it, tell me what you think of it and I’ll send you a free book.

You’ll Feel Great with Number Eight

Step into our showroom and purchase an all new, 2020 NASA Mars rover! It’ll have 100% of the Martian market sown up.

Finally, The End

Would you take a balloon into space?

Your final question, should you choose to answer it: would you take a balloon into space? Let me know, and get a free copy of my short story collection, Oops! Tales of the Zombie Turkey Apocalypse.

Attack of the Killer Zombie Turkeys

I reviewed a copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review, and here it is. The first book read/ listen from Andy Zach, and I’m totally hooked. can’t wait to hear/ RAF the remaining series. the storyline is very entertaining, and the way they perform (yes perform not read) the book was perfect. Love the sound effects, they just made the story come to life. This story had it all, from killer zombies, love, mystery, and action. it’s a must-read/ hear. I totally recommended it.

Secret Supers gets another review!

Secret Supers, front and back covers

Brett Cronier
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Chapter Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
A story about special needs kids becoming superpowered while still having their special needs. Unique and fast-paced. I love how this is written so children can read and understand it, without complicated themes, yet still placing social prejudices and situations within the storyline. I enjoyed the story very much. Still, I felt that some of the surprises could have used a little more introduction or at least hints beforehand, but it does not take away from the story of friendship and the strong message that everyone is gifted differently. Recommended.
