The NewMarsMember * gmail.com portal is open for business.

We have news from an ** old ** member this morning:

GW Johnson checked in with an update for the Landing Legs topic. That was posted to one of several topics that contain the word "legs".

We have 7,400 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members, and Id's through 9,700 are waiting for SpaceNut to add finishing touches. We have identified 1000+ Usernames which are eligible for upgrade for use by "real" members.

We have multiple initiatives underway that can use assistance, or you can create your own initiative.

Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures.

For existing registered members who have lost your password ... If you remember the email address you used to register, you can request a recovery email at that address. If you no longer have the email available (as could happen over 20+ years) just write to this email address. Your request will be forwarded to SpaceNut, who has the tools available to assist as needed.

For all ... we really ** are ** looking for members who want to make a difference by helping others with projects, or providing leadership on new projects. We have a ready supply of folks who can and will make comments and offer suggestions. We don't need more folks in that specialty. We ** do ** need folks who can and ** will ** help project leaders already trying to achieve something in the real world.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I just made a small addition to the original thread.
I specifically request some input from all chemists, biologists, and geologists for their input here and I'll consider their suggestions and make necessary modifications.

It is possible for a small number of forum members to amplify your efforts by providing logistics support.

A small advertisement/banner describing the kinds of specialists you are inviting to help could be emailed or even physically mailed to suitable institutions world wide.

Please write such an invitation in a format suitable for forwarding without the introduction of extraneous text by those who would like to be of assistance.

The posting members of this forum all live close to major institutions of higher learning, or to scientific non-profit institutions, or to scientific commercial institutions.

In addition, SpaceNut has from time to time posted invitations in the Mars Society forum, and it is possible folks there might include one or two who would be qualified to assist you in your project.

Certainly, the Mars Society membership ** knows ** people who would qualify, if your invitation can persuade them to take the risk of applying for membership in this forum.

The decision of SpaceNut to block spammers and to open the NewMarsMember Portal means that the folks admitted to the membership can have life experience that would be helpful.

At this point, we have one PhD student working on design of a robust minicomputer suitable for space service, one college student pursuing robotics as a career field, and one student early in his academic career interested in possibly playing a role in space settlement.

We don't have to be in a great hurry to bring in new members.

On the other hand, the senior members of this forum are (most likely) appreciative of assistance sooner rather than later.

The author of a concept for a 17 person expedition to Mars has specifically requested participation by peers to help.
RobertDyck could use assistance of all kinds in development of the Large Ship proposal
An initiative to visualize a Dawn/Dusk Polar Orbit SPS system is in need of all kinds of assistance
The My Hacienda topic is in need of 7,800 individuals to populate a virtual community to simulate self-sustainability on Mars

We have 7,500 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members, and Id's through 10,000 are waiting for SpaceNut to add finishing touches. We have identified 800+ Usernames which are eligible for upgrade for use by "real" members, although that number is dropping by 100 per day as we process them.

We have multiple initiatives underway that can use assistance, or you can create your own initiative.

The author of a concept for a 17 person expedition to Mars has specifically requested participation by peers to help.

RobertDyck could use assistance of all kinds in development of the Large Ship proposal. There are three animation/drawing systems in play.
Fusion 360 is a version of commercial software by AutoDesk that is available for student non-commercial use. It requires a beefy computer.
Blender is a free animation package that includes drawing capability.
Unreal Engine is (reported to be) an animation package that includes drawing capability.

An initiative to visualize a Dawn/Dusk Polar Orbit SPS system is in need of all kinds of assistance. Computing the energy that might be harvested from a cylinder in LEO would be helpful. The sum of that number can be compared to the needs for energy on Earth.

Some of our topics have looked for help from the forum as an 8th grader did here http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=227
