Hi everyone.  Just a quick note to wish you all a great day and say thanks to my lovely wife and in-laws for the present they’ve given me.  They have agreed to pay for me to have someone do a high resolution design of the X5.  You will soon be able to see my vision of the ship that is carrying Paul, Temperamce and the others to Tau Ceti.  I just need to finish my sketches and send them off to the artist.  

Thanks for reading.  Also coming up in the New Year will be my Top 50 spacecraft and a piece about women in Science Fiction.  Any thoughts on these would be appreciated.

Take care

Richard
