Gravity's Rainbow Group Read

[Will Layman]

I think this would be fun, but I hope that the "hosts" for the various
sections will refrain from simply sending out 35 URLs for each section,
expecting readers to click out to pages of technical rocket data, etc.  Not
be too old-fashioned, but some thoughtful questions and relevant connections
(with URLs but with some explanations as to why it will worth the time to
follow them) would be great.  Reading the book is work (if joyful work)
enough.
