I assume you seen all the pictures and video put out a few years ago. Looks to be in remarkable condition.

I have! The story just absolutely draws me in every time. Documentaries are the best. Movies about it are also good, though I prefer "the real deal" (documentaries) every time. Books on it are great, as well. And the photographs...just incredible!
Wizards age at a slower rate than us Hobbits!
Thanks for not commenting on the fact that I completely dropped the word "you" from my post. I had to go back and edit in the correction.

I post from my phone. Autocorrect does so much weird stuff to me i can't call anyone out on spelling or sentence structure...
I'm a fan of Sci-Fi books.
I like most of the stuff by Larry Niven, the book series for The Expanse is good as is the TV series (though of course the books are better), and I like some of the Heinlein stuff. Alan Dean Foster has some good ones too (The I Inside is very good).
Most recent read was Logan's World.
I always liked Logan's Run and re-read it to prepare for the sequel from the same author which I only recently found out about.
I can only assume that the author got a bad batch of drugs or something, because where Logan's Run was an entertaining read, Logan's World was a miserable slog.
It was so bad I almost believe it had to have been ghost written.

After I read "Endurance", I want to go back and reread "Kon-Tiki". I read it back when I was maybe 9 or 10-years-old, and have been meaning to read it again. Huh, I just realized that for a guy who doesn't swim or like being on the water, I sure do enjoy nautical-themed stories. Weird.

If you like nautical stories, nothing beats "Two Years Before the Mast" - a classic read and a very good one.
Another book that I recently reread was "Alas, Babylon". I think I've read it three or four times. A favorite, for sure, though perhaps considered overly simplistic by today's standards.
If you like Sci-Fi, here's a quick read that I found several years ago.
All The Way Back by Michael Shaara

I'm not a real fan of Niven, but that was pretty good!
This is another short read, by Asimov. Its very though provoking...
