stickmakerExcerpt from a novel about the first extra-solar colony:
“How’s the new main hall coming along?” asked Waide.
“It’s going very well,” said Goose, proudly. “And it will definitely be sturdy enough for just about anything we or this planet can throw at it. Rammed pozzolanic concrete shells filled with rammed earth. Should last thousands of years.”
Waide started to say something, stopped and laughed.
“I was going to say you were overdoing it, but realized this will probably be a historic monument some day.”
