New Mars Forums

  Not a problem.  Once FlyToMars.com is rolled out you can still join the community and setup your very own space colony.

Sorry I accidentally posted this topic twice.  Maybe admin can delete one or disable one.

Thankx in advance

At this time and considering the state of the world economy, grass roots efforts will probably be the most efficient way to garner capital for suborbital space ventures.  Minimum overhead by outsourcing and allowing a more democratic form of participation by normal people.  Any comments?

Thanks for sharing Rxke.  I'll look into that link "How to build a rocket."  You know BCML Corp. is also a member of the X Prize.  Happy to know we got fellow X Prizers here. 

FlyToMars.com, Inc. is planning to operate a community of free websites (no banner ads) targeting people interested in journeying to Outer Space, the final frontier.  Each website, known as a "space colony", initially will be limited to 2 mb of disk storage and guest book.  Contemplating providing message board, calendar and e-mail account as premium services.  These features will allow each space adventurer (member) to build a space colony on the web.  Upon registration the space adventurer will be  able to choose which planet in our solar system he/she wishes to colonize.  A directory will be available showcasing all colonies established on each planet.

FlyToMars.com is looking for pro-bono volunteers who will lend a helping hand to new users building home pages by offering tips and suggestions via our message board.  Volunteers will be known as Planetary Administrators.  These administrators and their lieutenants will patrol their planet for violations of its terms of service in exchange for additional free disk storage for their websites and e-mail accounts.

Interested persons should send an e-mail to newmediaempire@pcpostal.com or news@bcmlcorp.com with "Planetary Administrator" in the subject line.  FlyToMars.com is not expected to roll out until spring 2004.

Rxke, I do agree with your statement that striving for space is beneficial to Black Africa in their quest for improved standard of living and general development.  I was somewhat shocked to see that expressed in this forum.  So I guess I am making some friends here.

What are some of the methods that can be used to bring these topics to the attention of the established media?  Or do you think its pre-mature?

Also considering the oppression endured by Black Americans, Native Americans and other peoples considered expendable by 19th and 20th century America, do you feel that it's quite symbolic that a Black separatist turned space adventurer is sending a Time Capsule into orbit as a statement for free speech, free press and related First Amendment values?

Aetius, how do you feel about free speech on Mars being promoted before actual colonization?

Cobra Commander, I guess the next turn in this discussion should be about how we intend on accomplishing some of these ventures into space.

Clarke, the issue of free speech in space may not be so apparent if you hold the premise that humanity's venture into strange new worlds cancel out negative humanoid behavior.  In all likelihoods we'll colonize other planets in our solar system and bring along all of our dirty laundry including the propensity to govern and oppress people.  That is why it is so important to discuss important social ills confronting man early in this race to enter space.  If it is not approached properly, then the benefits space has to offer mankind will only manifest among a select few.

The focus on race is not my doing.  When people learn about my company's plans to goto to outer space and mine near earth asteroids for precious metals there is interest.  But when people learn that I'm African American planning and heading such an operation, then doubt kicks in.  Why?  Probably because there aren't very many Blacks involved in such endeavors.  But still why be shocked when a Black separatist turn space adventurer?  Racial stereotypes.  These media generated stereotypes must be eliminated.  The best way to eliminate such stereotypes is for the victims of such propaganda to do what I'm trying to do.  I'm putting this Time Capsule into Earth's orbit as a statement, a personal accomplishment, publicity and a demonstration that space is now affordable to those who want it to happen.  My efforts will also show the arrival of a new, progressive breed of Black leadership manifesting that enjoys a pro-futuristic outlook, capable of effectively and efficiently deploying financial capitalism to meet any need on demand.

BCML Corp. First Space Mission: Send Time Capsule 2006 Into Earth's Orbit

Cincinnati, Ohio - December 18, 2003 - BCML Corp. (OTC: BCML) is pleased to announce it will be sending a Time Capsule into Earth's orbit as a demonstration of its commitment in helping to shape humanity's future in space. "We are planning to purchase auxiliary room for our payload on a Russian rocket scheduled in 2006. We will outsource the technical aspect of the mission to Space Quest of Fairfax, Virginia," stated Baruti M. Kamau, chief executive of BCML Corp.

The Time Capsule will consist of digital copies of rare American ethnic publications produced from the early 19th century to the present. Also there will be a floppy disk containing a file with a list of names of everyone who contributed to helping the company manifest its first space mission.

"The company has made significant progress in executing its business plan this year. The successful execution of our first space mission should put us in the history books as one of the first - if not the first - African American owned company to send a Time Capsule into Earth's orbit. We are looking forward to reporting to stockholders in March 2004," stated Kamau.

Maybe an Islamic form of government may be more appropriate for Mars.  Have anybody ever considered the fact that Islamic civilization will also arrive on Mars?

Maybe I should initiate a new thread on this subject.
