Wernher Von Braun aimed for the stars, but sometimes he hit London.
Elon Musk says he wants to colonize Mars, but he's really aiming at Gor.
@cstross Gor? John Norman Gor?!
You may be right on that. Wow that's an old reference for sure.
@MisterWanko @cstross TIL that John Norman (real name John Frederick Lange Jr) was a professor of philosophy. WTF???
@bjn @MisterWanko Yup, and he's still alive (although aged 93).
@cstross @MisterWanko I picked up a Gor paperback as a teenager who read practically any fantasy or SF I could lay may hands on. I think I got at most two chapters in before I chucked it. Even the clueless spotty oik that I was saw it as the worse sort of male sexual wish fulfilment. So touché for your Musk burn.
