I guess I should have come back long ago to announce that the Space Hipsters awarded to 2022 prize to Stephen Walker for “Beyond: The Astonishing Story of the First Human to Leave our Planet and Journey into Space.”Congratulations again to Mr. Walker and Harper Publishing. We will begin accepting nominations for the 2023 prize in about a week!
