Like Apollo's Arrow, for example.
And I actually discussed this in Apollo Zero, which is that there's this tendency, it's theorized and often seen, but it's hard to prove, a tendency of pathogens to become more benign with time.

You have a book that just came out? Yes. With the title, Stars in Your Hand, A Guide to 3D Printing the Cosmos.
But yeah, thank you for asking about the book. It's fun. I like writing.
And so for me, it was a great way to concatenate all of these cool 3D printable data sets of our cosmos into one place. It's just like a quick guide, if you will, to some of the cool sites to feel, I guess, versus the sites to see.
So things like exploding stars, galaxies, and constellations. I worked with a bunch of colleagues around the world and gathered a bunch of data sets into one place.
Okay, excellent. And it's out now? It is. It's out now. And it's meant to be a very gentle introduction.
