[extropy-chat] Mars media coverage in Venezuela

[Jose Cordeiro]

Dear Elaine,
 
     Good to "see" you around. The young Venezuelan astronaut is Greg Drayer (drayer at ieee.org)  and I am copying him in this message:-)
 
     Indeed, transhumanists should think more about the space...
 
     La vie est belle!

Hi all!

I'm really happy to hear that you are introducing space exploration into
your transhuman community in Venezuela. I've only been to two transhuman
conferences, but neither mentioned space at all that I saw, and I found
that hard to understand.

I'm the Mars Project Coordinator for the Space Frontier Foundation (see
http://www.mars-frontier.org ), and I also spent last summer on Devon
Island as part of the NASA Haughton-Mars Project (see
http://www.marsonearth.com and http://www.mars-frontier.org/blog ), which
has some of the same goals as the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah.

I would be happy to link something to the http://mars-frontier.org site
regarding Giulio's work in Utah. Is there a website I could refer to? I
would love to hear more about it, in general.

all the best,
-Elaine
