Musical Interlude: And now something to carry us all away....Earl Bostic had a short life but his skill with the sax has rarely been equaled. He straddled the line between R&B and jazz, creating a unique sound. Here he is in a track from 1958, back when pop culture was space-crazy after the launch of Sputnik in '57.

"Up There in Orbit," performed by Earl Bostic.

Earl Bostic - Up There In Orbit

Going back to SPACE CRAZE: when covering 20th century scifi, Weitekamp discussed film, comics, TV shows, and toys, but as she gets into online fandom, she starts crossing over into Sad Puppies and the parallel attacks on Star Wars actors, Gamergate, and in the literary SF community. Now, I feel like it's getting to be a fuller picture. #SpaceCraze #INeedToWriteAnEssayForClass
