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.

CopperCon27

CopperCon27

The Science-Fiction Convention was held the second week end of September.
A large number of people stopped by the Moon Society Table to pickup information packets and ask questions and comment on the table set up.




This is the basic table setup with only one table available. The table was located next to the entrance door to the Dealer's Room and every person entering the Room had to pass by.





Chuck Lesher, member of the Moon Society, Rocket Engineer, Materials Scientist and Author explains the Moon Society to an interested Couple and answers their questions. Chuck's Book "Evolutions Child" is available on Amazon.com.



On Sunday the Nationally and Internationally known Entertainer, Educator and Emcee, "Dr. Sky" stopped by for a visit prior to his Space tourism Presentation for the Con. Information on"Dr Sky" may be found on http://www.drsky.com/.
