2007-10-16 00:06 The New Space Entrepreneurs
Today, we live śin the future ť -a future that for decades had been depicted in science fiction and that will increasingly be driven by immensely successful entrepreneurs intent on creating a space-faring civilization. Space exploration is being privatized by entrepreneurs acting freely and under the discipline of profit-and-loss incentives can properly exploit opportunities in ways that will create dynamic, off-Earth civilizations. The seeds of a competitive system of space-development consorti …

As I struggle to get back on a more regular blogging schedule (up to Portland for a few days now, to speak on the subject of virtual worlds at Inverge 2007 ), I thought I'd pass along some comments from readers of Winning Mars who were kind enough to both read–and review–the novel. From Dave Klecha : "The book takes place in about the same time frame as the first third of Charlie Stross s Accelerando, and may owe a bit to it given the ubiquitously networked nature of society, though …

2007-09-02 10:47 The Wealth of Nations vs. The Wealth of Networks
Capitalism brought us energy, light, water and sanitation etc., it released us from natures hegemony over us. But the sad thing is that the industrial revolution, mass media and mass consumption mean't that companies in the end were not really developing capitalism for the true benefit of society, it was developing its machinery to feed shareholders pockets. Just look at banking. Sean O'Grady writing in the Independent says The British Bankers' Association dismisses the estimates of the amounts …

2007-08-28 15:59 The SV Digest: Burger and Fries
[Zen Burger!] Zen Palate owner James Tu is launching a fast food chain, Zen Burger, and a frozen food line. Hopefully they'll have a lot of vegan stuff. If nothing else, Zen Palate got better at labeling their vegan offerings after Tu took over the chain. Only cause we've touched on it before, it's worth noting that UK Mars bars have lost their Vegetarian Society seal of approval because they use battery-farmed eggs. Silly vegetarians with all their weird distinctions! The state of Florida has s …

Paul server guy writes "According to Wired Science the seven person F-XI LDM crew that has been stationed at the Mars Society's FMARS station has completed their unprecedented 100 day simulation.

What happens when you stick nine scientists and engineers in a remote simulated Martian habitat and leave them there for 100 days That is what a group of space scientists were trying to find out. Their space habitat (the size and shape of an expected martian abode) is located near a crater on Devon Island above the Arctic Circle in Canada. The simulation is an experiment in planetary exploration and its demands. The team was looking at what happens to a crew in a remote, harsh, close-quartered e …

2007-08-21 00:28 REVIEW: Jim Baen's Universe #7
Jim Baen's Universe made a splash last year as an online-only, DRM-free short fiction magazine. It has since attracted big-name authors and numerous accolades. The June 2007 issue ( Issue #7, also known as Volume 2, Number 1) is my first opportunity to try it out. Ever since my first short-story-a-day project, I've warmed up to reading fiction online. What's particularly nice is the ability to download a version to my PDA, so I always have it with me. It's also nice to be able pull it up on a fu …
