(via Winchell Chung's Atomic Rockets: An Invaluable SF Resource) If you haven’t heard, Winchell Chung has been hospitalized with a terminal disease. This is a fitting tribute to his achievements.

Hot take: if you don’t have a favorite Winchell Chung quote, your opinions on realism in fictional spaceships are essentially irrelevant. (Mine is “Cherenkov Radiation: If you see this in the air, the good news is you can probably live long enough write your last will and testament. If you write very quickly.”)
