Good context for thinking about CommCore operations in the Serpentis and Sol systems. Jeb -------------------------------------------- From ZDNet News: You've Got Mail - From Mars! Described as a "work in progress," the proposal to the Internet Engineering Task Force--the group that sets standards for the Net--calls for terrestrial testing of interplanetary Internet protocols later this year, with a live test onboard the NASA Mars mission in 2003. "What we are fundamentally about is deploying as much re-usable, standardized communications infrastructure as we can afford around the solar system, so that future missions don't have to take it all along with them," said Adrian J. Hooke, manager of the DARPA InterPlaNetary Internet (IPN) Project and co-author of the proposal. "They can use capabilities put in place by other missions." The proposal calls for a network of Internets to facilitate communication among planets, satellites, asteroids, robotic spacecraft and crewed vehicles and create a stable interplanetary backbone network.

Hey All; ChrisTheS wrote "Well... do technothrillers count? If they do, I'd suggest Patrick Robinson's series ('Nimitz Class,' 'Kilo Class,' and 'HMS Unseen' are the first three, I don't know if there are any more yet). They're an extremely near-future setting (i.e. within the next 3-5 years), and mostly about submarines. They also make good source material for sub-hunting BP adventures (see www.stormsurge.org for an adventure I wrote based on 'HMS Unseen')." He's got a fourth, it's called (IIRC) "USS Seawolf". I'd add "Heavy Weather" by Bruce Sterling. Set on Earth (possible WoH analog?) but it does relate to BP, it's got some cool tech and strange storms. I also thought "OceanSpace" by Allen Steele was a good book for BP ideas.

I also fixed the webring code(I hope), but Yahoo! seems to be doing a system upgrade, so I'll just hope the problem is on their side and not mine. Anyway, go check it out. I'd appreciate comments. -Andy *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
