+The Saturn program would have been pushed into |
the 70s with cost over runs that would just be too evil. |
Nixon still wins. |
+The Shuttle was never proposed and Skylab never built. |
+By 73 the program stalled yet again under the fuel crisis. |
+A string of small launches mark the mid seventies. |
+By 76 the goal of a US man on the moon is dead and the US space program |
drifts till the present day. |

Could you use some sort of mechanical chest compression as an aid. |
Sorta like the portable Iron Lung? Put some sort of flex tubing |
around the 'aquanauts' chest. Cyclically compress it and it will |
push enough on the chest wall to support breathing????? |
You'd have to trust your breather, but in space, you have to trust |
your suit anyway. |

You may be reading this document on any one of an amazing variety of |
computers, so much of the material below may not apply to you. In |
general, however, systems connected to 'the net' fall in one of three |
categories: Internet, Usenet, or BITNET. Electronic mail may be sent |
between these networks, and other resources available on one of these |
networks are sometimes accessible from other networks by email sent to |
special 'servers'. |
The space and astronomy discussion groups actually are composed of |
several mechanisms with (mostly) transparent connections between them. |
One mechanism is the mailing list, in which mail is sent to a central |
distribution point which relays it to all recipients of the list. In |
addition to the general lists for space (called SPACE Digest for |
Internet users, and SPACE on BITNET), there are a number of more |
specialized mailing lists described below. |
A second mechanism is Usenet 'netnews'. This is somewhat like a bulletin |
board operating on each system which is a part of the net. Netnews |
separates contributions into hundreds of different categories based on a |
'group name'. The groups dealing most closely with space topics are |
called 'sci.space.news', 'sci.space', 'sci.space.shuttle', 'sci.astro', |
and 'talk.politics.space'. Contributors 'post' submissions (called |
'articles' in netnews terminology) on their local machine, which sends |
it to other nearby machines. Similarly, articles sent from nearby |
machines are stored locally and may be forwarded to other systems, so |
that an article is posted locally and eventually reaches all the Usenet |
sites interested in receiving the news group to which the article was |
posted. |
Gateway machines redirect the Usenet sci.space group into Internet and |
BITNET mailing lists and vice versa; the other Usenet groups are not |
accessible as mailing lists. If you can receive netnews, its more |
flexible interface and access to a wider range of material usually make |
it the preferred option. |
SPACE Digest is the main Internet list, and is now being run by the |
International Space University (in only its second change of management |
in over a decade). Email [email protected] (message body |
should be in the format 'subscribe space John Public') to join. Note |
that the moderated SPACE Magazine list is defunct at present for lack of |
a moderator. Old copies of SPACE Digest since its inception in 1981 are |
available by anonymous FTP. Retrieve |
julius.cs.qub.ac.uk:pub/SpaceDigestArchive/README |
for further details. |
Elements is a moderated list for fast distribution of Space Shuttle |
Keplerian Elements before and during Shuttle flights. NASA two line |
elements are sent out on the list from Dr. Kelso, JSC, and other sources |
as they are released. Email to [email protected] to join. |
GPS Digest is a moderated list for discussion of the Global Positioning |
System and other satellite navigation positioning systems. Email to |
[email protected] to join. |
Space-investors is a list for information relevant to investing in |
space-related companies. Email Vincent Cate ([email protected]) to join. |
Space-tech is a list for more technical discussion of space topics; |
discussion has included esoteric propulsion technologies, asteroid |
capture, starflight, orbital debris removal, etc. Email to |
[email protected] to join. Archives of old digests and |
selected excerpts are available by anonymous FTP from |
gs80.sp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.205.90) in /usr/anon/public/space-tech, |
or by email to space-tech-request if you don't have FTP access. |
SEDS-L is a BITNET list for members of Students for the Exploration and |
Development of Space and other interested parties. Email |
[email protected] with a message saying "SUBSCRIBE SEDS-L your |
name". Email saying "INDEX SEDS-L" to list the archive contents. |
SEDSNEWS is a BITNET list for news items, press releases, shuttle status |
reports, and the like. This duplicates material which is also found in |
Space Digest, sci.space, sci.space.shuttle, and sci.astro. Email |
[email protected] saying "SUBSCRIBE SEDSNEWS your name" to join. |
Email saying "INDEX SEDSNEWS" to list the archive contents. |
Ron Baalke ([email protected]) runs a mailing list which |
carries the contents of the sci.space.news Usenet group. Email him |
to join the list. |
As a general note, please mail to the *request* address to get off a |
mailing list. SPACE Digest, for example, relays many inappropriate |
'please remove me from this list' messages which are sent to the list |
