Hi there,
Care to meet in person, over drinks, to discuss how people might sustainably provide something to look forward to for the world's populations by travelling into space and really beginning the era of space colonization? How might development in sustainable technology be influenced by the stresses of existence in space? Are there particular areas that might constitute "low-hanging fruit" for companies wishing to bypass government slowness by making the first space colonies a private endeavour? Or is public-private partnership the answer? Or does capitalism belong on Earth, not in space? How about nuclear (fission or fusion? vs. solar (photovoltaic or catching the solar wind)? What do you think?
Come on down to Sublounge this Thursday, June 16th, 2005 (tommorrow night as I write this) to discuss these topics and more!
WHERE:
Sublounge is a funky little pad at 628 20th St. @ 3rd St., in San Francisco between Potrero Hill and the bay.
WHAT:
Third Orbit Thursday is a free event held on, you guessed it, the third Thursday of every month. It's an opportunity to bring together people interested in space travel, sustainable development, alternative communities and burning man to have a social hour over cocktails. Musical hosts will provide good tunes to mellow out to, and there will be bartending staff at your service.
WHEN: ~9:30ish to sometime after midnight, after y'all take off. :-)
SPACECRAFT PARKING: Tons are available nearby. No shortage in this neighborhood.
cheers,
-Garlynn
