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.

EVOLUTIONS CHILD Republic of Luna (REVIEW)

EVOLUTIONS CHILD, Republic of Luna is an exceptional piece of future science as I have read in some time. It is set in the near future of this century toward it’s close. It is well thought out work that develops the scientific thoughts and developments that are only now being developed. The advanced uses of the technology are well used in the story of a Lunar Republic beset by religious dogma that has existed for millennia. This story portrays what happens socially and technically as primarily extreme religious factions collide with a republic that is not beset with a religious fervor of its own, just their belief in their right to live the way they chose without threat to themselves. Their response to the threat is well answered by their use of technology including Bioengineering, Mining, Mechanical and Molecular Engineering.
