Oodles of images from around the Solar system and across the Universe. “Virtuality” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 1:02 am November 6th, 2009  Moore, Ronald D. & Michael Taylor Librarian’s Note: Some pretty decent science fiction. A crew is bound for Epsilon Eridani for a scouting trip. The Go/No Go decision point is at Neptune. To help pass the time they have a virtual reality set-up, but there seems to be an issue with the software… “Asteroid Mine” (Artist’s Proof Print)Ken Murphy / 1:24 am September 21st, 2009  Anderson, David Lee Librarian’s Note: One of the nice finds at FenCon this weekend.

I’ll have a review up shortly. “2009 Satellite Industry Directory”Ken Murphy / 7:52 pm February 28th, 2009   Bates, Jason (Ed.) Librarian’s Note: At a hefty 616 pages this is a nice directory for those interested in the satellite side of things. You know, the whole using space to benefit the Earth by entertaining and educating its peoples stuff. Extensive footprint maps show you where each satellite is targeted, with various specs, including expected lifetime. The main thing is the round-up of companies, from those who operate satellites in space, to those who broker the services, to those who provide the hardware and services. I may have to sic Eva on some of these folks for future EVA Interviews. If you’re more interested in who’s broadcasting what, there’s always the Satellite Transponder Guide. |
