I can think of two reasons. Either:

A) They want to see the book succeed and their curiosity is a natural reflection of that. Or,

B) They are secretly planning on killing you and stealing your identity. Every bit of knowledge you supply brings them closer to their goal.

Aww im glad that you guys think of me in that way.

Also flying through a asteroid field is easy as pie Seither there all generally in nice stable orbit from floating around for a few 100 million years. Calculating there orbits is easy and the seed they go at is constant unless two crash. However that does not happen due to the fact that the orbit will have stabilized over a few hundred millennia as I said. The only situation where it would be at all dangerous to fly through one would be if something had messed up the asteroids orbits. Like a space battle or something large moving close by that had a strong enough gravitational pull such as a rouge planet.

Just thought you want to know of any scientific inaccuracies in your book. I can also see a few things I see as issue with your pros that I will mention at a later date but then again what do I know about writing.

ya...I think I can safely say my book ignores scientific accuracy completely, lol. But thanks.

issues with my pros? uh, huh? not sure i'm understanding you there, lol. But thanks I think.

I'll post sales at the end of this month, and then once a month, though honestly, unless people spread the word, I dooubt sales will change much after the first 2-4 weeks.

No his prose is decent for a PoD book but if he really wants to grab more people in to his writing it needs some improvement.

all writers can improve, lol. I'm working with 1 editor who is not a professional and myself, I get a lot of slack I think, as all prose editing comes down to me, lol. Usually its the editor who makes the book's prose a lot better. I also didn't entirely rewrite the stories, so they're still partially in their original form of writing from during my highschool time. However, I do thank you for your input, as all useful criticism is accepted. At least you're not going, it could be better.

I'm one person, who's time is taken up by a girlfriend, a job, and trying to write more. There's only so much advertising I can do on my own, lol. The fans can pitch in a little, lol.

Thanks. Just, spread the word as much as possible, here, there, wherever. I have an author site http://www.dewarbooks.com/, and the site to buy the book is https://www.createspace.com/3370474. You can link them if you want to.

If you want you can make up banners/signature images, whatever.

I'm not picky about how i get help, as long as it comes, I'm happy. Atm my "advertising campagin" is telling the 200ish people i know on facebook about the book and tell them to buy it and spread the word....and posting here.
