Recently our hosts, authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia, had the opportunity to sit down and chat with our favorite NASA rocket scientist, Les Johnson about writing hard science fiction. How much science is too much science in your book? How much science does the writer need to understand in order to write science fiction? What would the Baen 'sexiest writer' calendar look like? Just what are these 'solar sails' he works on at his day job and what do they mean for the future? And most importantly, what's the deal with the Professor from Gilligan's Island?
