Annie O'Hara Bynum

Sergio! dude!
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:13 PM
Peter, do we have a set agenda, or should be start with AMP and go from there
4/8/09 8:13 PM
go for it Annie
Sergio Lebid
4/8/09 8:13 PM
Hello Dudette, is that politically correct?

4/8/09 8:18 PM
a brief update on the Apollo Moon Party for new people
4/8/09 8:18 PM
the idea is to have a 'world celebration' for the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:18 PM
lets get started!
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:18 PM
so we organise as many events as possible around the world between July 16 and 24
4/8/09 8:19 PM
which may include: streetside telescope viewings, planetarium visits, videos, regular-type parties with beer, etc.
4/8/09 8:19 PM
other ideas are welcomed
David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:19 PM
we will have to think of something here at the MSSL
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:20 PM
Dave are you combining this with your monthly meeting tonight?
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:20 PM
Will
there be a dedicated site or webpage for people to register their
events and get ideas, perhaps even some pdfs they can print as handouts?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:20 PM
we
run it in parallel with an online Skype chat something like that, and
maybe also streaming video from different locations, the idea being to
keep the chat going around the world for at least a day
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:20 PM
Our meeting is next wed
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:20 PM
we are in the process of making a page where you can register your parties, yes

What are some things we can do to help, in addition to getting the word out, of course>
David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:21 PM
we have switched to the 3rd Wed of the month for MSSL meetings so that we can make this online meeting
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:21 PM
Could be Mark, but not yet
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:21 PM
IYA connection would be good idea
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:21 PM
The IYA International Moon Week runs from July 20-26

4/8/09 8:21 PM
Dietz, got it
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:22 PM
Love the footprints!
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:22 PM
Is there a website for IYA Moon Week?
4/8/09 8:22 PM
Thanks, Tavi
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:22 PM
I have been trying to organize the manufacture of these monolith mementos but I've been really pressed for time lately
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:23 PM
Have you selected a material?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:23 PM
only quote I've got so far is 3 GBP, not counting delivery to US
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:23 PM
Well,
I had the idea of on or near the anniversary date is sending letters to
the editor of various newspapers, reminding about the Apollo
anniversary and expressingwhat the potential of the Moon can mean for us
Tavi Anne Greiner
Edited 4/8/09 8:23 PM - tavianne
great idea
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:23 PM
Keith, it's a great idea but I would send them 2-4 weeks in advance to get them printed around that time
4/8/09 8:24 PM
maybe not necessary, I don't really know
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:24 PM
okay
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:24 PM
All Im finding re: IYA moon week is the Spring Moon Watch
David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:24 PM
save some of those 4th of July fireworks for July 20, out in the country somewhere of course
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:24 PM
nice
Pranav Mohla

Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:24 PM
Give away Moon Pies?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:25 PM
Don the 3GBP monoliths are black perspex
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:25 PM
That's actually a really good idea, Keith...
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:25 PM
Shaun: is that a plastic
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:25 PM
That price seems doable.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:25 PM
yes
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:25 PM
Lots of Earth People loveLoveLOVE their moon pies
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:25 PM
If you want to have something in the papers, definitely send them detail *at least* 4 weeks in advance
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:25 PM
depending on shipment
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:25 PM
should we get them delivered to Milwaukee?
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:25 PM
More if you want a major feature
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:25 PM
That would be great, Mark - Are you directly connected with IYA?
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:25 PM
Shaun - the quote you got, did it specify delivery time?
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:25 PM
(you do the twitter, right?)
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:25 PM
they quoted me 210GBP delivery to CA, for 500 units
4/8/09 8:26 PM
lead time of 7-10 days, delivery 1-2 days
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:26 PM
I'm an IYA team member
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:26 PM
Shaun, what's the story on the monoliths?
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:26 PM
Not sure I want to be the transshipper, as that would be a strain on me financially
4/8/09 8:26 PM
Jerry, it is something I came up with
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:26 PM
the only quote I've got back to far is from clear touch in the UK
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:26 PM
It is a take off on the 2001 Space Odyssey monolith
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:27 PM
I love it
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:27 PM
an
alternative, of course, is to ask the manufacturer to ship them
individually, but they would charge a premium for that of course
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:27 PM
that's pretty spiffy, Peter
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:27 PM
and they may simply not want to do that
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:27 PM
I
ask as I'm the Director of the Sir Arthur Clarke Awards, which were
presneted last Saturday. See
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7986309.stm and www.clarkeawads.org
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:27 PM
Let's postpone that shipping discussion, pending a volunteer
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:28 PM
cool Jerry
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:28 PM
Our awards are glass monoliths (read the book!)
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:28 PM
Shaun: Have you considering having the party sites/groups ordering them and distributing them?
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:28 PM
I'm also chair of my local astronomical society, which has the largest IYA programme in the UK
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:28 PM
OR perhaps PRE-Orders only?
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:28 PM
That might be the best distribution of risk
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:29 PM
yes, but presumably you would need to manufacture them as a single batch to reduce the price
4/8/09 8:29 PM
I do like the idea of pre-orders
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:29 PM
We could do one pre order and then if we had an unexpected demand, do a reorder
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:29 PM
True, but if we mixed the idea with pre-orders and worked to get "minimums" at each site it might be workable financially.
4/8/09 8:29 PM
Thats a good thought, Peter
4/8/09 8:30 PM
Are we limiting sales to before and during the party only? What about follow on sales.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:30 PM
no, we will want to have them available all year I think, at least until we run out
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:30 PM
One
idea I've toyed with i having balloons printed with the Moon's
features. Has anyone ever done this. I though they'd be
really good for star parties.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:30 PM
no need to restrict it
4/8/09 8:30 PM
and we might have stock to clear
4/8/09 8:31 PM
even 500 might be too many, it all depends how its marketed
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:31 PM
The baloon idea is cute. Is there anyone doing that?
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:31 PM
Would the monolith be a reasonable merchandise item that the Moon Society could offer on the natl and local sites?
4/8/09 8:31 PM
year-round
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:31 PM
for my part, I think they would be
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:31 PM
We could assess internal (local group members) demand and double that, should be safe enough
4/8/09 8:32 PM
Yes, Don, I should think so.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:32 PM
we should probably find a site that can sell them online for us
James Gholston added Rosalie Dieteman to this chat
4/8/09 8:32 PM

David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:33 PM
to bad we didn't make up a bunch of Apollo 40th T-shirts, if you are into advertising that way
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:33 PM
actually the T-shirts would be much easier to organise then the monoliths
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:33 PM
Patti can get the t-shirts made
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:33 PM
Hi Charles
Sergio Lebid
4/8/09 8:33 PM
Hi Charles
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:33 PM
we could do it through cafe press
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:33 PM
So
what are we going to do about actual public activities? Star
parties are probably out for most of us, seeing as the sun sets around
11pm!
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:33 PM
It is a MOON party after all
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:33 PM
And the Moon is not out during this period.
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:33 PM
oh.
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:33 PM
Close to new Moon
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:34 PM
yeah but unfortunately its a crescent moon at this time
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:34 PM
Star Parties would work here in eastern US
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:34 PM
(waves) hi Charles
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:34 PM
Last Quarter is July 15
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:34 PM
Apollo was a sun god, so maybe you could have a sun party
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:34 PM
I second that!
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:34 PM
lol lol lol
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:35 PM
That's just going to confuse people
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:35 PM
indeed
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:35 PM
Maybe
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:35 PM
Without the sun the Moon would be dark and cold all the time
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:35 PM
Works for me- I've certainly got the right logo in permanent ink
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:35 PM
If you tied in the SBSP angle - maybe not.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:35 PM
so would Earth, for that matter
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:35 PM
So how about public talks?
4/8/09 8:35 PM
In libraraies, etc, during the day?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:35 PM
we will probably have one in Melb, as part of the VSA
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:36 PM
Public
talks is something local groups and chapters could try to organize, but
it is hard enough to get an opportunity, much less one in this specific
time window.
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:36 PM
Can we tie IYA into our Moon Party?
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:36 PM
Could a 'standard' presentation - with the historical info - be put together for all of us to pull from?
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:37 PM
Peter - arent there several on the national site?
4/8/09 8:37 PM
I know we have some.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:37 PM
really
I think its up to the people in each city how you choose to celebrate -
some people will want public talks, others will just have a party,
telescoping viewings, or a combination of things
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:37 PM
Am I still connected?
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:37 PM
I can work with the Presentation
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:37 PM
Yes, but you have to make them your own to present them effectively
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:37 PM
Mark, what history were you referring to?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:37 PM
a 20 minute powerpoint presentation that we could all use would be cool
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:38 PM
We can decide that this is a part of IYA celebrations.
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:38 PM
Great! I have been making Websites
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:38 PM
good idea Mark
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:38 PM
Apollo 11 specifics
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:38 PM
Pranav can do it... no problem....
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:38 PM
I can work on a PPT tailored for this event
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:38 PM
it would to nice to make a Graphical interactive ppt
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:39 PM
beyond my level of beginner expertise
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:39 PM
We would have to request that IYA add AMP to its list of activities
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:39 PM
Can anyone tell me a little more about the content
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:39 PM
That would be good, Mark
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:39 PM
How about Pranav does a first draft of a ppt presentation, then Peter can edit
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:39 PM
I
have two talks about the Moon landings. "How We Reached The Moon"
tells precisely that, using contemporary images (over 150 of them!) and
video. The other is "Would You Believe - We Put A Man On The
Moon" which looks at the claims of the "Moon Hooax" theorists - and
tears them to shreds!
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:39 PM
Perhaps if Peter prepared a "Basic" version, then handed it of to say Pranav for "upgrade"?
Dennis Groves
4/8/09 8:39 PM
Does anyone have memorabilia they can use for this? A kind of show and tell? Models and stuff?
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:39 PM
I'm not volunteering Pranav for anything, mind you.... I'm just asserting his adeptness at most anything
David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:39 PM
there
is a book called "Exploring the Moon" by David Harland with transripts
of the Apollo missions that might provide some content for ppts, etc.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:39 PM
its ok he volunteered himself
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:40 PM
Its awful quite in here, I'm I still in the chat?
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:40 PM
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:40 PM
I
am more comfortable talking about our future ont the Moon than about
our past, so on second thoguth I might not be the best for this task.
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:40 PM
A ppt can be used as a template or guide that people can 'personalize' as needed
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:41 PM
All apollo expeditions I guess
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:41 PM
So, Pranav . . .
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:41 PM
Peter, you are an odd duck.

Yeah Hi Don!
Jerry Stone

available for presentations across Europe. I could also do the US
if finances could be arranged. A nice lecture tour perhaps? (If

although you may like to include references to earlier missions, to lead up to the story - but don't worry about later ones
Mark Tillotson

Just Apollo 11, I think

4/8/09 8:42 PM
Can it be just a US prespective
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:42 PM
Jerry it would be good if you did a presentation in the UK somewhere
Pranav Mohla

Do we have an AMP twitter account?
Don Jacques

Perhaps the two perspectives are important -

does
anyone realize that there have been over 50 manned and unmanned
missions to the Moon by the USA, ESA and Russia? Can't say we just
landed in a few places and scooped up some sand
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:43 PM
Pranav, it's history, should not be purely US perspective
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:43 PM
yup!!!
4/8/09 8:43 PM
Hmmm!

Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:44 PM
Russia started it all anyway with Sputnik
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:44 PM
But
Pranav, of course it was the US who conducted the Apollo program, which
is what we are commemorating, so of course it will be a story about
Americans
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:45 PM
Rub it it why don't ya
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:45 PM
It would be fun to offer pdf charts that pointed out manned landing spots - for viewing during the moon parties
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:45 PM
Yeah i just downloaded the Apollo 11 entire info!
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:45 PM
yes but we aren't doing a history of space exploration, just about humans walking on the moon for the first time
Don Jacques
4/8/09 8:45 PM
We shared a moon landing image last mtg
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 8:45 PM
All stages of its preparation
David Dietzler
4/8/09 8:45 PM
i'd like a map of some of the unmanned site too
Pranav Mohla

I bet Chuck Wood from LPOD would do a feature on this
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:46 PM
ah ok
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 8:46 PM
oooh - good idea
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 8:46 PM
I can contact Chuck
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:46 PM
has anyone investigated what NASA are doing for this?
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 8:47 PM
Don, do you know Chuck Lesher? He's from Chandler, AZ
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:47 PM
I
could do s presentation about all that we know now that was starring
the Apollo 11 astronauts in the face but they did not yet realize it.
That would include info on lunar materials and resources, things that
would affect how settlers could adapt etc,
Dennis Groves
4/8/09 8:47 PM
Nothing, they have a couple of t-shirts and a new patch
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:47 PM

As
it happens, I also have written a book about Apollo 11. See
http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/book/3916/One_Small_Step-Jerry_Stone.html
It's ostensibly the scrapbook of a young space enthusiast whose
grandfather worked in Mission Control at the time. It's very
visual and has flaps to lift, etc. Patrick Moore said it's
"Marvellous"!

although I think we are making progress, I have sent the SQL file to Dana to create the database tables
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:54 PM
Too busy, or troubles with the software?
4/8/09 8:54 PM
I see
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 8:54 PM
The
NASA pages refered to have 40th anniversary logos. See

Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:54 PM
partly too busy, but also I can't do anything without the database tables set up, and the login creds
4/8/09 8:55 PM

4/8/09 8:55 PM
waiting on Dana
4/8/09 8:55 PM
I wrote to Randall but no reply
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 8:55 PM
I
don't know if got thru but earilier someone was mention about the
things that the Apollo Astronauts had to face, there is a site
science.nasa.gov run by Dr Tony Philips that has lots of short articles
on the Moon & Lunar dust plus they are in MP3 format for easy
listening
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 8:55 PM
Nice logo for T shirt

Tavi Anne Greiner

You
mentioned other 40th events during that same week. Would we want to
also note them on the website, in addition to our own registed events,
as outreach?

4/8/09 8:56 PM
I think we shoud, Tavi
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 8:56 PM

Unless
things change, I will be hosting Astrocast.tv's "Our Night Sky" segment

for the month of June or July and encourage people to get involved,
include AMP site in a list of a few ways to participater

4/8/09 9:01 PM
transcript for my own use - to ask participants to add me to their contacts list
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:01 PM
it's very hard to do web development this way
4/8/09 9:02 PM
so in other words, the AMP coincides with the IYA Moon Week
4/8/09 9:02 PM
makes sense really
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:02 PM
Shaun, I am thinking of something else for the events page - will write you later
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:02 PM

Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:04 PM
it was meant to be 'yes', I don't know why I thought to respond in French
4/8/09 9:04 PM
especially when I'm learning Spanish
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:04 PM
lol - I thought it was chat talk
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:04 PM
no, that would be far too obvious
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:04 PM
Shaun,
for AMP events go to the party registration page, for other events by
other organizations etc, see the list of links below - what do you
think of that?
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:04 PM
It does stand for Orbiter Interface Unit (among other things)
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:05 PM
LMAO
Mark Tillotson
4/8/09 9:05 PM
So, do we have action items and follow up dates?
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:05 PM
Its the Aussie pronunciation for "Oh"
Shaun Moss added Patti Hultstrand to this chat
4/8/09 9:05 PM
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:06 PM
This
looks like something that isn;t acutally happenning. I put it on
my AstroSoc calendar when it was originally announced, but now I can't
find any mention of it. There are the IYA Moon*Watch* weeks: Mar
28 - Apr 5 and Oct 24 - Nov 1. Plus a Schools Moonwatch Week Nov
19-29
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:06 PM
Yes, we need to compile a tasks list, split everything up where we can
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:06 PM
That was in response to dates for the Moon Week
Don Jacques

4/8/09 9:07 PM
what do you need from us?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:07 PM
sounds good Don
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:08 PM
I could import the graphics, and give the link to Patti's page
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:08 PM
I like the caption "First shadow in space"
4/8/09 9:08 PM
because of course, shadows didn't exist in space before humans went to the Moon
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:08 PM
BTW, Bob - I think the easiest wasy to get a SKype transcript is to copy the text and paste in Word or similar
4/8/09 9:09 PM

Shuan,
are you aware of a movie coming out this July titled "Live from the
Moon"? I saw a preview of it at Spacefest in San Diego this Feb. It is
about the role TV played in the Apollo program and Australia features
quite significantly in it.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:11 PM
sounds cool, I will check it out
Don Jacques
4/8/09 9:12 PM

Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 9:12 PM
is going to the theatres or is going show up on the Science Channel?
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:12 PM
There's
a site that compares the signal received in Australia with what went
out to the world, at significantly lower resolution.
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:12 PM
If you go to AMp site and click on Party Ideas, there is a reference to it (from me)
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:13 PM

think you can actually select "recent chats" and the entire

select today, this week, 30 days, etc

Great Place for Knowledge
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:20 PM

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:20 PM
After the meeting, Jerry
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:20 PM
I am thinking we need an event in the UK where Jerry can talk about Apollo 11, or maybe do his talk on How we got to the Moon
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:20 PM
RAeS is having an Apollo 11 event on July 16
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:21 PM
Yes email party ideas to me kokhmmm@aol.com
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:21 PM
but there's no point for a handful, need 20-30 at least, so maybe promote the event to UKSEDS et al.
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:21 PM

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:21 PM

Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:21 PM
The British Interplanetary Society is having a presentation about Apollo 11 on July 1. No prozes for guessing the speaker
Shaun Moss

Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:23 PM
I'll
get on to UKSEDS. I'll probably be meeting with some of the
committee in a week or so when we debrief from the UK Space Conference,
held last week.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:24 PM
cool, that would be great
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:24 PM
Peter - define "way, way back"
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:24 PM

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:26 PM
We feel honored to have you with us
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:26 PM
thanks Pranav
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:26 PM
Yes, Shaun
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:27 PM
so, we changed the name from Melbourne Space Club
4/8/09 9:27 PM
and we decided to be a branch of the NSSA (which is the Aussie arm of the NSS)
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:27 PM
and I though you meant steam-powered rockets ...
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:27 PM
I am used to using the word Victorian with a connotation of mores of the period in history.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:27 PM
it gives us more credibility and administrative structure
4/8/09 9:28 PM
well, we do all carry parasols, of course
4/8/09 9:28 PM
and ride horses everywhere
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:28 PM
lol
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:28 PM
natch!
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:28 PM
but that's normal. isn't it?
4/8/09 9:28 PM
anyway - our first meeting is April 23
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:28 PM
And your spaceships are made of cast iron, no doubt
Don Jacques
4/8/09 9:28 PM
and held together with leather straps . . .
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:28 PM
Great! How many involved so far
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:28 PM
we
have got 2 really good speakers, one is the Executive Manager of Space
Science at CSIRO, another is head of the School of Aerospace at RMIT
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:29 PM
Just make sure you don't knock your top hat off when you put your space helment on!
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:29 PM
which is probably meaningless to you guys, but its impressive for our first meeting
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:29 PM
I think its great!
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:29 PM
It is impressive
4/8/09 9:29 PM
Three great speakers counting yourself
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:29 PM
(still laughing about the top hat though )
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:29 PM
the other organizers are unexpectedly motivated and ambitious like me, so we are keen to work towards an Australian Space Agency
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:30 PM
That would be great
Don Jacques
4/8/09 9:30 PM
how about aussie NewSpace?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:30 PM
I think we only have a dozen or so RSVPs so far, but we haven't really started promoting it yet
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:30 PM
Wish we had a British Space Agency <sigh>
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:30 PM
so it should be good - I will be promoting the Moon Society at the meeting(s) and signing people up
4/8/09 9:30 PM
I have a few posters left
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:31 PM
Do you know Guy Murphy in Oz? He's involved with the Mars Society out there.
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:31 PM
I have dropping word around every office in DC of people I know to start up the US Dept of Space
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:31 PM
of course, we are friends
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:31 PM
Do you want more? I could send on the 15th, broke until then
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:31 PM
I have been in the Mars Society for 10 years
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:31 PM
Why is that not surprising?
4/8/09 9:31 PM
OK. I've been a Director in the UK for about 4 years.
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:31 PM
But then so have I.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:32 PM

4/8/09 9:32 PM
Jerry, for the UK Mars Soc?
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:32 PM

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:32 PM
Mars and Moon are natural trading partners
Shaun Moss

Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:32 PM

4/8/09 9:32 PM
Shaun Moss

I have only been to one UK Mars Soc meeting, out at Milton Keynes
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:33 PM
We're working on getting funding for EuroMARS, which will be deployed in Iceland
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:33 PM
but I've met Bo several times
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:33 PM
When was that meeting?
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:33 PM
Hardened moon settlers will make promising recruits for Mars compared to a lot of terran pansies.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:33 PM
2000 iirc
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:33 PM
Before my time.
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:33 PM
*snicker*
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:33 PM
I got involved in 2004
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:33 PM
we were talking about EuroMars a lot
e.surfer.bob has left the chat
4/8/09 9:34 PM
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:34 PM
I saw the shell of Euor Mars on display at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago before it became damaged in storage and shipping.
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:34 PM
btw we are having a moonmars.com meeting tonight
4/8/09 9:34 PM
but progress has been slow the past couple of weeks
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:35 PM

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:35 PM
Hey, why not.

Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:35 PM
For the end of May roll out?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:35 PM
yeah, we won't make that date
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:35 PM
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:36 PM
that was rampant optimism on my part
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:36 PM
Will you present on it at ISDC?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:36 PM
if I go
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:36 PM
We all need rampant optimism to keep going

I only know rumors and hearsay but i will send it to you, Jerry
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:38 PM
most people have yet to grasp the significance of Mars (present company excluded of course!)
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:38 PM
Haha Annie the Queen of Mars ! Yet to be instated! By Martian Men
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:38 PM

Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:38 PM

Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:38 PM
how about the Princess of Mars, there's a very good novel by that name
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:39 PM
Do you know Artemis personally, Jerry? I served with her on MDRS Crew 34
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:39 PM
yeah..!LOoks Cite
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:39 PM
I think Artemis *is* the Princess of Mars
Keith Wetzel
4/8/09 9:39 PM

Pranav Mohla

Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:39 PM

Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:39 PM
I believe Crew 34 is another major story ...
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:39 PM
She's a goddess... I don't have to compete with Gods
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:39 PM
Sure is
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:39 PM
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:39 PM
In many ways
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:40 PM
but tell me, did she change her name?
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:40 PM
Ah yes, I forgot - Not Mars Princess but Mars Goddess (at least according to her e-mail address)
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:40 PM
what makes you suspect that, Shaun?
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:40 PM
Hahah
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:40 PM
because it's a Moon goddess name, is it not?
4/8/09 9:40 PM
hence Artemis Society International
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:41 PM
i would be called Mars Explorer!
Peter Kokh
4/8/09 9:41 PM
Haha!
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:41 PM
The
daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin of Apollo. Artemis is the
goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility
(she became a goddess of fertility and childbirth mainly in cities).
She was often depicted with the crescent of the moon above her forehead
and was sometimes identified with Selene (goddess of the moon). Artemis
was one of the Olympians and a virgin goddess.
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:41 PM
her surname's still Westenberg, not Godsess
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:41 PM
and change its name to EARTH 2
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:41 PM
lol
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:41 PM
And I'd dispute that last piece of information
Pranav Mohla

Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:42 PM
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:42 PM
they came to the Mars Soc conf in 06
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:42 PM
she isnt a princess then!
4/8/09 9:42 PM
Grand oLD LADY!
4/8/09 9:42 PM
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:43 PM
Even a princess can have daughters. You were thinking of another adjective.
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:43 PM
HMM YEAH!

Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:44 PM
Peter knows all the Indian members of the Moon Soc, maybe you can contact them and discuss party ideas
Jerry Stone
4/8/09 9:44 PM
We want to hold it here in the Uk in 2010
Pranav Mohla
4/8/09 9:44 PM
India will support this in every way!
4/8/09 9:44 PM
I bet you
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:44 PM
Jerry -a good contact then would be Adriano Autino, he's in north Italy
Tavi Anne Greiner
4/8/09 9:44 PM
Do you think, with only 3 months until AMP week, once a month will be sufficient meeting?
Annie O'Hara Bynum
4/8/09 9:45 PM
Pranav also presents for ISRO regularly... yes?
Shaun Moss
4/8/09 9:45 PM
good question Tavi
Peter Kokh

Board member of the Space Renaissance Initiative. We had a press
conference at the BIS last week and Adriano came over for it.
