<DIV>Dear Elaine,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Good to "see" you around. The young Venezuelan astronaut is Greg Drayer (<A href="mailto:drayer@ieee.org">drayer@ieee.org</A>) and I am copying him in this message:-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Indeed, transhumanists should think more about the space...</DIV>

friends,<BR>><BR>> I just wanted to share with you the excellent recent media coverage<BR>> for a young Venezuelan astronaut that was sponsored by the World Future<BR>> Society Venezuela (presided by me:-) that just participated in a Mars<BR>> simulation in the Utah desert.<BR>><BR>> Some of us think that this is an excellent way of promote<BR>> transhumanism in a positive way (the astronaut is also one of the<BR>> founding members of the Venezuelan Transhumanist Association, with<BR>> Santiago Ochoa and myself:-)<BR>><BR>> Since Giulio Prisco and others might agree, I only wanted to let<BR>> you know of what we are doing in terms of pushing transhuman memes here.<BR>> We did the same two years ago with nanotechnology (we were the first to<BR>> talk about it seriously in Venezuela:-) and we have similar plans for<BR>> artifical intelligence, robotics and biotechnology... just keep tuned...<BR>><BR>> Transhumanistically
