THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HERB LESTER

Like anybody, we love city guides and maps, and even if traveling to a particular place might have to remain a dream for an unspecified period of time, just reading about it will send a little tingle of excitement down our spine.

MEANWHILE, ON MARS

Chances are that by the time you’re reading this, about, oh, some 150 million miles from you, the Curiosity Rover, Nasa’s latest mission to Mars, will have successfully completed its landing and is happily scurrying about freezing desert planes to collect data to investigate the feasibility of a manned flight at some point in the [...]
