In Borne, we saw the City run by the archetypal Company, an institution that appears to have no purpose but to warp and distort and transfigure nature itself, without even the motivating factors of scientific curiosity or financial profit. After they removed their spacesuits, the crew wore oxygen masks for another 20 minutes to allow life-support systems in the airlock to further filter the air.

Four temperature sensors on the outside of the Lunar Module were burnt out and four measuring devices in the reaction control system failed temporarily. Because the spacecraft was so cramped, the crew could not keep to their reentry schedule and landed 386 km (240 mi) off course in deep forest. VanderMeer’s writing renders words sometimes as elegant brushstrokes, and other times, like Lego bricks haphazardly kludged together by a hyperactive yet brilliant child.I certainly am not one of those people who can stand looking at a canvas covered in random paint splotches for hours musing on the artists groundbreaking talent. Had a further short shut down two engines, Columbia would have ditched in the ocean, although the crew could have possibly bailed out.

The mission nearly ended in disaster when the rocket suffered a second-stage separation failure during launch. Cosmonauts who died on duty under the Soviet Union were generally honored by burial at the Kremlin Wall Necropolis in Moscow. The flight director decided that they would have to remain in orbit an extra day (a full revolution of the Earth), so they could determine what the problem was. The imagery is wonderful, beautiful, but the story doesn't make much sense, and didn't get any better as the it went along.

In a small park on the side of the road is a memorial monument: a black column with a bust of Komarov at the top. In the ruin of the world that the nefarious Company has left behind after its biotech experiments went south, such things are commonplace, and nothing is quite as it seems, although everything dies. The creature basks in the warm memories of living in its free and natural state, in passages that have a repetitive, even incantatory quality.This list excludes deaths caused by military operations, either by deliberate detonations, or accidental during production – for example German V-2 rockets reportedly caused on average an estimated 6 deaths per operational rocket just during its production stages.
