Attention all SF fans...
Don't miss the 11th Annual Mars Society conference! You won't have to
travel far this year because the conference is in Boulder on the CU
campus, August 14th through 17th. This conference always attracts
hundreds of scientists, engineers, writers, philosophers, and members
of John Q Public. If you want to learn more of the science behind the
science fiction, please consider attending.
Check the Mars Society website for registration info, the latest
schedule, and a list of speakers:

- Carol Stoker, Phoenix science lead (strange happenings lately with
Phoenix, but I can't say more...)
