Apparently he also uses every public forum at U. of W. to promote his views as well. I have a copy of a message from the director of computing services at U of W Eau Claire that appears to be sort of a canned response to complaints. It suggests sending mail to McElwaine telling him to cease and desist further postings to inappropiate groups, mailinglists etc. and he be forwarded copies of correspondence. (I'll verify the address and ask permission to give it out/post it, as the message I have is a little old) -Mike ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Nov 92 02:02:07 GMT From: Wayne Harvey Subject: Lunar "colony" reality check Newsgroups: sci.space,alt.sci.planetary ins866n@lindblat.cc.monash.edu.au (D.A.

That would lead to the assumption that the moon would be of a different composition than Earth, with possibly greater concentrations of elements (mineable (sp?) quantities). This would change the picture somewhat, when you assume that the only mineral explorations done on the lunar surface were conducted in the equivalent of the Sahara.

I have learned that the meeting has been moved to the Walker Theater at 617 Indiana Avenue. It's no longer scheduled for the IUPUI campus. It still runs from 2:00 Friday afternoon till about 6:30. Dr. Daniel Goldin, NASA Administrator, will be present for the first half of the afternoon, and will answer some questions from the audience after his talk. A battery of other NASA officials will review NASA's activities in the second half, along with short presentations from a few Indianapolis-area people with some space, aeronautics, or NASA connection. (For instance, there's a company named ARAC in the spinoff business which I expect will be represented.) There will be a lot of open-microphone time so audience members can sound off. Now for the best part. I will be hosting a reception after the meeting for anybody who wishes to keep talking about space. It will start at 7 PM at the Slippery Noodle restaurant at 372 South Meridian in Indianapolis, near Union Station and about a mile south of the Walker Theater. Everybody is welcome. The Slippery Noodle's phone (I love this name) is (317)631-6974. I hope to distribute flyers at the meeting announcing this reception (if they let me!). But you heard it here first. I figure people will enjoy meeting others with an interest in NASA. They can buttonhole each other, sign each others' petitions, get to know one another, etc. It'll be real low-budget-- I expect people will buy their own drinks-- and contributions will be welcome, but I'll be providing the first round of snacks as long as my cash holds out. Just doing my bit for grassroots space activism in the Midwest... Many thanks to Thomas Freebairn of IUIPUI for providing the legwork!
