The AAA
on the web:
"Ask an astronaut".
Why not get hold of a government astronaut and ask them a few questions?
Some topics you might like to bring up could be: sex in space, what music
they're into, and what the limitations of working for the government or
army are... - http://www.nss.org/askastro/
FRONTIER
ORGANISATIONS
Offers directions to web resources of organisations whose mission statements
revolve close to those of the AAA.
ISLAND
ONE SOCIETY
Again, not one million parsecs from the AAA itself, the Island One Society
looks to the problems inherent in setting up new communities in high orbit.
SPACE:
NOW OR NEVER
"Dedicated to the proposition that it is human destiny to explore the
universe, that the exploration of space offers vast rewards, both economic
and spiritual, and that if we who believe this don't act now to support
space exploration, humanity may well never get off this planet." In a
nutshell.
SOCIETY FOR INTERNATIONAL SPACE CO-OPERATION
SISC Mission statement: "We have progressed to a time when technology
is no longer the major obstacle to space exploration. It is the political
decisions and cost issues that will drive any future space ventures. By
promoting International cooperation in space we not only lower the costs
for individual nations but go a long way towards promoting International
understanding and a peaceful future." Site also features plans for a worldwide
collection of International Space Exploration Resource Centers.
SPACE
FRONTIER FOUNDATION
Organisation of Americans dedicated to opening the high frontier of space
to human exploration and settlement "as soon as possible".
NATIONAL
SPACE SOCIETY
A non-profit organisation with 27,000 members world-wide. NSS' aim is
to "promote change in social, technical, economic, and political conditions
to advance the day when people will live and work in space. "
FIRST
MILLENNIAL FOUNDATION

reality, using as their bible a book entitled "The Millennial Project".

of a 25-kilometer-high near space elevator.
SPACE
LAUNCH
In their own words, they claim to be "building the world's premier space
launch organisation as the foundation for an expanding programme of space
exploration and colonization."
MOON
SHOP
This organisation naturally settles on the greed inherent in claiming
space as a territorial consumerist concern. Not to be encouraged, but
obviously one to keep an eyeball near.
INTERPLANETARY
CATHEDRAL OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS IN SPACE
Building the first church in space with the proceeds of the Millennial
raffle - available to buy on-line for only five dollars. On-line volunteer
missionaries also required urgently! Take off for Jesus...
FAKE

landings were faked. Features documentary evidence that seems to hold
up well under intense scrutiny.
