A black-and-white political cartoon by Ron Cobb features a large bomb mushroom cloud rising over a city skyline with the ironic text, "LET YOUR FAITH LIGHT THE WORLD...".

A black-and-white political cartoon by Ron Cobb features a small child in a bed nestled among the rounded tops of massive nuclear missiles marked with American and Soviet flags.

In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a disheveled man stands in a vast wasteland of debris, looking bewildered as he holds a broken portable television set and an unplugged power cord.

In a black-and-white editorial cartoon by Ron Cobb, a man in a suit stands atop rubble shaking his fist at a distant mushroom cloud, exclaiming that bombing only strengthens their will to resist while a second man lies defeated in the debris below.

Before becoming the fantastic designer we know, Ron Cobb (Alien, Total Recall, The Last Starfighter, Aliens, Back to the Future, The Abyss, Rocketeer, Space Truckers, Firefly...) was a cartoonist in the late 1960s.

With the same talent.

I honestly stayed away from the series for years due to its reputation as a difficult and punishing game series, similar to Zelda II. However, coming to the series later on has been an absolute joy. I love the themes, characters, story, and combat. It keeps pulling me back for more with each game.

If you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to play Dark Souls 1. It is genuinely a phenomenal game.

I realized that the minimum-energy crewed Mars mission post is the denouement of the crewed flyby planning story I've dug into these past 30 yrs. If I were to plug it into a new edition of my HUMANS TO MARS book, it would conclude what is in the 2001 edition chapter 4.
