“Moonquake”Ken Murphy / 4:00 pm November 30th, 2006  Binder, Dr. Alan “Surveyor Lunar Exploration Program: The NASA Mission Reports”Ken Murphy / 3:48 pm November 30th, 2006  Godwin, Robert (ed.) “Scientists gather to discuss moon plans”Ken Murphy / 7:43 pm November 28th, 2006 Bryner, Jeanna “Journey Between Worlds”Ken Murphy / 9:50 am November 23rd, 2006 Engdahl, Sylvia L. Best of the Moon 2006 - Youth High Frontier Fiction Librarian’s Note: Thanks to the author for this addition to the Lunar Library! “The Wild Blue Yonder”Ken Murphy / 8:20 pm November 14th, 2006 “The Wild Blue Yonder” Librarians’ Note: This is a very odd little movie, but features real world science like the Interplanetary Superhighways. Perhaps a kind of “What the bleep do we know” meets “Primer” via “GaiaSelene”. Blue Origin joins the flying hardware clubRob Wilson / 4:24 pm November 13th, 2006 Alan Boyle from Cosmic Log reports that Blue Origin has performed a test flight from its newly constructed facilities near Van Horn, Texas. Frustratingly, so far Blue Origin is continuing its normal pattern of secrecy, so there is no information on how the flight went. “The Moon Trees”Ken Murphy / 4:23 pm November 8th, 2006  Williams, Dr. David R. Librarian’s Note: Some folks at NASA are trying to track down about 400 seeds that were carried to and around the Moon by Astronaut Stuart Roosa aboard Apollo 14. I note the absence of Moon Trees in Texas, something I find hard to believe, though I’m sure they’re scattered around the world. If you have knowledge, please contact Dr. Williams at the address given at the weblink above. Descendents of the original trees can be purchased at the American Forests Historic Tree Nursery Store “Ice on the Moon”Ken Murphy / 3:55 pm November 6th, 2006  Spudis, Paul Commercial Space ISRU RoadmapKen Murphy / 11:29 pm November 2nd, 2006 Eighth Continent™ Steering Group “Monarch of the Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 11:59 pm November 1st, 2006 Dark Horse Indie Librarian’s Note: Magnificent Moon cheese! A fun and hyper-patriotic movie that combines “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” with “Radar Men from the Moon” and the other ‘pulp’ cliff-hanger serials from the 40s and 50s. Launch MagazineKen Murphy / 5:36 pm November 1st, 2006  Launch Magazine Librarian’s Note: Thanks to Alan Chan for this addition to the Lunar Library. “Moon in my Room” (w/CD)Ken Murphy / 1:51 am November 1st, 2006 Uncle Milton Librarian’s Note: As if I wasn’t going to pick one of these up. I have to admit that the rendering exceeds my expectations, and major features are recognizable (I can even see Grimaldi [5.5S, 68.3W]). Comes with a 15 min. audio CD for a historical tour. Now the Lunar Library has a night light! |
