  1. THE ARTEMIS PROJECT!!! I remember buying a membership for that in 1993, at the Winnipeg Worldcon. Good times! For a couple of years I was convinced they were going to make it, because their plans were so detailed and realistic sounding. And on top of that the membership included a subscription to the "Moon MIner's Manifesto," a wonderful little photocopied magazine put out by one guy who considered every possible detail of a lunar colony. Today he'd have a YouTube channel, but back then magazines were the way to go.

  2. That's a good point, Beezqp. The government funded programs will still be found because lots of other sites will still connect to them, but nostalgic favorites like The Artemis Project will probably become effectively invisible.

  3. The important part is the rover can handle a wide range of terrain and it's heavy enough not to flip. (Especially at those speeds.) Slow and steady and safe is the way to go when you're 383 400 kilometers from the nearest mechanic.

  4. I hope so! Only went to that one because it was in my country, but I'd love to go to another some time.

  5. I've really got no idea what the situation is, but my impression is that Hollywood overshadows everything else at San Diego and there really isn't room for science fiction fans. Meanwhile there's still a Worldcon website at http://www.worldcon.org They say the next one will be in Dublin, Ireland.
