Re: Recent Downtime

First of all, I'd like to apologise for the recent downtime on New Mars. The domain name registration for newmars.com expired sometime last week, which I missed, and we've spent a quick last few days adding another three years onto the registration. I'd like to reassure readers and members here that New Mars is not going away any time soon, and neither myself nor the Mars Society have any plans to abandon the website. In fact, now that I've managed to set up a new billing system, downtime should be kept to a very minimum.

Things that you'll be able to look forward to in the near future are the serialization of Robert Stockman's 'Mars Frontier' novel and a series of editorials by myself on the state of Mars exploration.

Re: Recent Downtime

Adrian, I like the whole Mars Frontier thing, I read the first chapter today, and found it very interesting, and I do indeed look forward to the continuation.

Also, I'd like to extend my gratitude to you and the Mars Society for keeping these forums alive. This is probably the most appealing conduit for Mars-related discussing. Newgroups or mailing lists just can't compete with an active forum in my opinion.

*Hear, hear!  I agree.  And also this forum allows us to personalize our posts: avatars, sig lines, emoticons, etc. 

Very nice.

I know these boards were inactive for only a week or a little over that, but it seemed like a month.  sad

Re: Recent Downtime

Ack, I thought I'd reminded you. tongue

Adrian, could you update the book?

I guess I lost track of the time since I didn't have a chance to read it until a few days ago.
