TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES

(Still on going planning for Races.)

The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.

Check this blog for details as they develop.

We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.

All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.

In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.

If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.

Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.

Yuri's Night Party Phoenix 2008





Yuri’s Night Party for Phoenix on April 12, 2008 was held at the Challenger Center in Peoria, Arizona from 10:30 AM until 4: PM. There were several speakers that put on presentations at the Party. Among those speakers were our own Charles Lee Lesher, Chuck spoke about going back to the Moon.



The Party was sponsored by our local National Space Society Chapter with help being given by the Moon Society Chapter, The Mars Society Chapter and the Planetary Chapter.
We had a constant flow of visitors and party goers stopping at our table and asking questions.
Also present were Artist Robert McCall and his wife who were there to plant a tree for the party.





The McCalls stopped by the Moon Society Table and talked with us for several minutes, what a Grand Couple.
