On Wednesday, Earth and Mars will be closer to each other than they've been for nearly 60,000 years. To mark this momentous occasion, all this week we'll be slanting everything we do in a Marsward (or at least a spaceward) direction
Let the Madness begin.
This week:
Monday
Time Traveler's Toolkit. So far we have explained what a Speculist
is, defined Practical
Time Travel, and had a glimpse at how the future looks from different points
of view. This week, we're going to classify nine — no, make that twelve
— distinct kinds of future and talk about the role we have to play in each.
Tuesday
A rapidly growing FastForward Posse provides the ulitmate guide to all things
Martian.
Wednesday
We'll be Speaking of the Future with Dr.
Robert Zubrin, President of the Mars
Society and author of The
Case for Mars. Dr. Zubrin will explain why we shouldn't just focus on how
close Mars is to us, the real question is how close are we to Mars? He has some
ideas for getting us a whole lot closer.
Thursday
Stillness, Chapter 4. Reuben's date with Ksenia takes the promised
ugly turn. We say goodbye to all that kissy-lovey stuff as we plunge into heart-pounding
suspense.
Friday
Robert Zubrin will answer Seven
Questions About the Future.
Saturday
Future Round-up.
All of the In the Future...
predictions for this week brought together in one handy list. We're still not
caught up from doing only four a couple of weeks ago, so we'll see how it unfolds.
Plus, throughout the week we'll be blogging developments in Mars, nanotechnology, Mars, artificial intelligence, space exploration (especially like to, say, Mars), robotics, Mars, and other future-impacting areas. Such as Mars.
