Stan Love, a member of the Seattle LUnar Group Studies (SLuGs), an activity group of the Seattle L5 Society back in the late 1980s, will be aboard Atlantis, scheduled for the delayed STS-122 mission to the International Space Station on February 7th.
In the 1988-1990 time frame, members of the Seattle L5 Chapter of NSS received Moon Miners’ Manifesto as a membership benefit, regularly sending contributions.
Later, in 1997, to ease the writing burden off editor Peter Kokh, who was Chair of the upcoming NSS 1998 International Space Development Conference in Milwaukee, SLuGS member David Graham submitted a bundle of SLuGS abstracts for publication in MMM. Included were some fourteen of Stan’s wide-ranging technical abstracts which we then published in MMMs #106-108.
