I'm going to Mars!

[davidlevine]

As faithful readers will no doubt recall, back on December 7 I posted a blog entry in which I listed my space travel wish list, starting with an actual stay in orbit ($35 million) and ending with a zeppelin ride ($500). #2 on that list was to participate in a simulated Mars mission (cost unknown, time commitment substantial).
See, the Mars Society

Congratulations! Hopefully this won't turn out like any of the recent 'Mars' movies... ;o)

(And Artemis Westenberg of the Mars Society? Wow, that would be really cool on a business card.)

Especially if it's your name!

I know! (Parents must have thought ahead ;o)

In preparing a lecture for Windycon, which had a steampunk theme this year, I was somewhat startled to realize that while everyone knows me as Bill Higgins, my parents had had the foresight to give me a steampunk name as well: W. Skeffington Higgins. Weren't they clever?

Okay, that's the most amazing thing I can think of a friend doing in years (except, well, for me going to Africa ::wink::). How wonderful, David! I'm so excited for you. I look forward to your reports on prepping and everything else.
