Lunar Ventures 2008Ken Murphy / 3:26 am March 28th, 2008
Launch Magazine Vol. 2, No. 3Ken Murphy / 3:25 am March 28th, 2008  Launch Magazine Vol. 2, No. 3 “Building a Base on the Moon: Part 4 - Infrastructure and Transportation”Ken Murphy / 3:18 am March 28th, 2008  O’Neill, Ian Lunar Quadrant MapsKen Murphy / 3:11 am March 28th, 2008  University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Librarian’s Note: One of the cool goodies I found at The Observatory here in the Metroplex. Now I just need to get them framed… Espace MagazineKen Murphy / 3:06 am March 25th, 2008  Espace Magazine Best of the Moon 2008 - La Lune Librarian’s Note: Another beautiful and info-packed issue. The subscription for this one is not cheap, especially as the dollar continues to weaken (luckily I prepaid for two years back when the dollar had some strength), but it is sooo worth it. This issue features articles on the Mercury visit, the Columbus Module, the ATV, Italian ISS specialists ALTEC, a look at the ‘tormented’ Ares I, the Chinese ShenLong spaceplane(?), the forgotten Apollo 11 silicon disk, Asia’s (ex-China & Japan) contributions to space, a Mars astromobile, the French spaceplane, and much, much more. I even learn new French words like écusson. “Special Report: Space-Based Solar Power”Ken Murphy / 2:51 am March 25th, 2008  Various Librarian’s Note: I just heard from the NSS that the Special Report is now available online! “The Zula Patrol Explore Space!” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 1:51 am March 25th, 2008  Liberation Kids Librarian’s Note: Surprisingly educational for all of its little kid wackiness. Comes with a set of removable plastic clings of the Solar system. The packaging said it was a Borders Books exclusive, click the image. Round-up at the Lunar CorralKen Murphy / 4:13 am March 17th, 2008  Howdy everyone! One of the goodies I picked up during my abbreviated trip to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference was a handout from the LPI Education and Public Outreach office with a whole bunch of Moon-related websites on it. This is the sort of thing that often gets distributed to teachers to pass on to their students, but since I’m not a teacher I’ll just pass it on to visitors to Out of the Cradle. “Jupiter Moon: The Pirates of Leda” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 6:15 pm March 16th, 2008 A Primetime-Andromeda Production, in association with British Satellite Broadcasting Best of the Moon 2008 - High Frontier Fiction Librarians’ Note: The 75 episodes released to date on DVD weave quite an interesting story of college students on a large spacecraft in orbit around Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. There’s a lot of drama as a varied cast of character archetypes rotate through the focus of the story, the adventures of the spaceship ILEA and Columbus College. [My character archetype would be Finbow Lewis, and just like his character I had an immediate crush on Herlinde. I can’t believe I’m that predictable] An errant comet, a megalomaniacal scientist leading humanity’s first step to another star, a desperate rescue, secret nukes and pirates plundering the vast resources of the Jupiter system, leaving the last episode a life-or-death cliff-hanger! This one is definitely an early contender for Best of the Moon 2008 in High Frontier fiction. Every explorer needs a map.Ken Murphy / 5:40 am March 10th, 2008  Moon Poster & Map by John Moore. Unknown publication date. We’ve visited Moon maps before here at Out of the Cradle. One of the enabling tools for opening a new frontier is a knowledge of the ‘lay of the land’, and maps and map reading are key basic elements to get anyone started on knowing where things are on the Moon. Still, there’s more to being on the Moon than just the terrain, and that’s an area in which this poster stands out. Home on the Moon - Welcome to MoonbaseKen Murphy / 1:55 am March 7th, 2008 We’ve got a pair of reviews this time around, two books about living and working on the Moon. 39th Lunar (and Planetary) Science ConferenceKen Murphy / 3:15 am March 3rd, 2008  39th Lunar (and Planetary) Science Conference Librarian’s Note: I’m seriously considering this one, not only for the E/PO workshop, but also a “Combined Publishers’ Exhibit” featuring new publications, plus exhibits of works by independent authors. While nothing will be for sale at the conference, details will be available, and hopefully I can find a bunch of new items for the Lunar Library. Oh, and Mike Griffin is going to be there that Monday. “Moonlight Mile: One Small Step” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 3:13 am March 2nd, 2008 “Moonlight Mile: One Small Step” Best of the Moon 2008 - Moon Manga/Anime On the path to the Moon“Space Adventure Bitty Bucket” (Play & Store)Ken Murphy / 6:33 pm March 1st, 2008  “Space Adventure Bitty Bucket” Selenology Today #9a - Special Eclipse IssueKen Murphy / 4:24 pm March 1st, 2008  Selenology Today #9a - Special Eclipse Issue “Making Space Matter”Ken Murphy / 3:04 am March 1st, 2008  Krause, Jason |
