Subject: 10/1: This Week on Destination: Space


***JPL declares Mars a dead planet. Again.
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/
On the heels of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) admitting to
'pilot error' on yet another unsuccessful robotic mission to
Mars (the Climate Orbiter), JPL has decided to rescind any of
its earlier support for the wet Mars theory.

Look for an announcement later this week from Destination: Space
regarding our hosting an upcoming chat event with NASA and
independent Mars scientists to discuss the Dead Mars/Wet Mars
theories in detail. And why JPL is really backtracking to its
earlier position on the red planet's past.


***The Great Space Race Goes Private?
In decades past, the only race off the Earth was between the USA
and the USSR.  But in the world of private finance, this may all
change as entrepreneurs such as Bigelow Aeronautics and Rotary
Rockets put their money where their dreams are.

Destination: Space is currently developing a detailed section on
the privatization of Space Exploration which will premiere later
this fall.  In the meantime, we recommend listening to The Laura
Lee Show (http://www.lauralee.com) this Saturday evening as Bob
Bigelow will be on to discuss his organizations plans to get Mr.
& Mrs. Regular Person into space.


***The Politics of UFOs
Chat with UFO Lobbyist Stephen Bassett
Sunday, 6pm, PT / 9pm, ET

Political activist Stephen Bassett will begin a new series with
Destination: Space this Sunday on the path to UFO Disclosure.
This Sunday join him along with DS's UFO Editor Bill Stockstill
for an important update on the political process.  According to
Bassett, there will also be several "surprises" he intends to
discuss.

Bassett's organization is The Paradigm Research Group
(http://www.paradigmclock.com).  He is also the founder of the
Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee
(http://www.x-ppac.org/).

See below for more information on how to access our chats.


***STAR TREK VOYAGER CHAT SERIES ON DESTINATION: SPACE
Every Wednesday
Starts at 9pm, East Coast Time
Ends at 10pm, Pacific Coast Time

Join the Destination: Space SciFi staff for a weekly chat on the
latest Voyager episode.  The chats will start at 9pm, ET and run
until 10pm, PT so everyone can join the chat and talk about the
night's episode.

EPISODE TITLE: "Barge of the Dead" SYNOPSIS: Torres confronts a
dark side of her Klingon ancestry when she asks a skeptical
Janeway to allow doctors to induce a coma-like experience that
will allow her to aid her condemned mother who is held aboard a
mythic Klingon death barge.

A note on our chats:  As the Destination: Space website
continues to develop, we are beginning to test a web chat system
(java) that is useable by all operating systems and browsers.
You therefore have two ways of entering the chat:

1)Using IRC software.
Chat server: chat.solarcafe.com
channel: #briefing

2)Using our web chat system (please note that there is no
special design to this section yet - it is still in the
developmental phase).  Just go to
http://www.destinationspace.net and click on the bottom right
portion of the screen where it says "web based chat".

We look forward to seeing you online.
