If I were in DC, I’d attend this event on the Hill on Friday. But in my experience, space historians won’t necessarily do a good job of extrapolating into the future, particularly when it comes to technological trends.

Rescuing Apollo Astronauts
…in lunar orbit. They thought of everything, which you can do when it’s important and you have a big budget.
We’re In Reach Of The Goal
We are less than two grand from the goal for the space-safety Kickstarter project. I have an offer from a potential donor to match the next thousand that comes in, which means that the rest of you only have to contribute a thousand on your own over the next two and a half days to get it home. Please, have at it.
Less Than $2000 To Go

Who Owns The Asteroids?
A discussion of the implications of the Outer Space Treaty for mining, with Frans von der Dunk.
A Prometheus Review
“Short version: utterly gorgeous 3D and a phenomenal cast are wasted on one of the most profoundly, fundamentally stupid movies I’ve seen in a long time.”
We went to see Marvel’s Avengers yesterday (great movie), and noticed that Prometheus was just starting in another theater as we were walking out of the one where it was playing, so we could have done it for nothing, but weren’t up for a double feature, particularly given what I’ve been reading about it.
Youtubing Space Safety
I’ve uploaded the video from the Kickstarter project to Youtube in the hope of giving it more exposure, with only a little over four days to go. Unfortunately. I can’t come up with any way to steer people to the project from there. I don’t seem to be able to edit the description of the video, and comments don’t allow links.
Past The $4500 Mark This Weekend
Less than $2500 to go for the space-safety Kickstarter project, but it has to happen by Friday afternoon.
