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.

This item comes from an investment newsletter.
 
A new store recently opened at 298 Mulberry Street in downtown Manhattan.  And if you walk in the door, you'll see something truly amazing.  Something that's about to put 100 million Chinese factory workers out on the street...  And launch a 21st-century industrial revolution right here in the U.S.A.

The Air Force already bought one.
 
So did Nike, BMW, and Disney World.  Jay Leno has one in his garage (but it's not a car).  And now that the sticker price has plummeted from $100,000 to $799, it won't be long before everyone buys one. 
 
Business Insider says it's "the next trillion dollar industry." The Economist has gone even further, comparing its history-changing impact to the steam engine and the printing press. 
 
Too good to be true? Wall Street thinks so. Meanwhile, technology watchers are whispering that this invention could be "bigger than the internet." 
 
See, the innovators behind the iPod, Google and Amazon.com have been big boosters all along. And you still have time to join them — if you act fast. 
 
Because when the skeptics wise up, the big money will already be off the table.
The opportunity to profit from a transformative technology like this might come along once in a lifetime.
 
That's why The Motley Fool has JUST RELEASED this stunning new video — to help individual investors like you jump on the 3 stocks that get you the biggest piece of the action.
 
 
 
 
The Moon Miner's Manifesto will be doing a series on this technology development in the near future and it's application to the settlement of the Moon and the development of the facilities and products to make it happen.  It will be adapted to use local materials for the process.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hi all, I have been a little lax in keeping my blog up to date.

First back in July I notified the Phoenix Chapter that was leaving the Presidency of the Chapter.  The reason being I was having trouble driving and getting to meetings.  And the reason was Diabetic Neuropathy in both of my legs and the beginnings of Arthritic pain in my right hip.

Then in September the departure became a fact and I turned the leadership of the Chapter over to Mike, the Chapter's Treasurer.

During this time I was also doing things for the ConNotations NewsZine, Delivering copies to various locations, updating the "Events" section, Selecting and/or okaying Science Articles and working on a master listing of Science Fiction Clubs.  I was also helping out with the LepreCon39 committee for Fan Tables.

But the legs continued to get worse and when I saw an advertisement for Neuropathic treatment I checked it out and decided to sign up so I could get my legs back. 

More to come on this and other topics.
