Kerbal Space Program has been the bane of my sanity for a while. Also a good deal of fun.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it looks like a lot of fun and<br>
could be very educational/useful for us in simulating tech (yeah, I know we<br>
can't technically do propulsion, but I think you can do rovers and stuff)<br>
<br>

<br>
It's for Mac/PC and they encourage educational projects to use it (but they<br>
don't mention if it'll be free for educational use). Cost is ~$18<br>

Do these visualization and 'mind mapping' tools sound as if they are<br>
useful for most of this group's members?<br>
<br>
IMHO, if we can even begin with 'mind mapping' and visualization, we can<br>
1) document our ideas and thoughts for historical purposes and more<br>
importantly, 2) share and discuss our ideas. 3) We can elaborate on<br>
particular threads of ideas without losing other competing/cooperating<br>
ideas in the process.<br>
<br>
Also, funding sources and distributions can be laid out for all to see.<br>
<br>
Logistics: I have some web space available on my ISP servers or could<br>
dedicate some space on a computer at home to house the info, BUT I'll<br>
need some help with setting it up and maintaining it. I've been in<br>
computer science since 1977 but have never set up a web-based anything. :)<br>

"Buzz Aldrin?s Unified Space Vision (USV) is a blueprint that will maintain U.S. leadership in human spaceflight, avoid a counterproductive space race with China to be second back to the moon, and lead to a permanent American-led human presence on Mars by 2035."<br>
<br>
And while that is stated as USA dominant ... "The idea is to build strategically diverse teams for missions in space. Crews would be composed of people from nations slightly friendly, hostile or even at war with each other on earth. Since Space is a new frontier, without territories, boundaries, national sovereignties or ownership, it is the ideal staging point to demonstrate that people of all cultural beliefs and religious backgrounds are able to set aside differences and work harmoniously for common goals for the greater good. The space environment would give humankind an opportunity to establish new precedents and create defining moments in the struggle for worldwide peace. The selected space crew and travelers would be fully trained active participants of the highly publicized missions."<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the visionary path starts by extending the space shuttle thru 2015.<br>
Still this could be used as a basis for discussion (along with that Rockwell one from last month) for planning a path forward based on a more diverse, global approach.<br>
