Michael Busch<p>The latest addition to my collection of books by people I know:</p><p>Patrick Michel, "À la rencontre des astéroïdes".</p><p>I had known Patrick was featuring <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DARTMission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DARTMission</span></a> results, but he even managed to add in mention of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/2023CX1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>2023CX1</span></a> before the book went to the printers.</p><p>And I am not surprised by the references to American movies and British rock music.</p>
