Another Starman Connection to Outer Space in the Media Recently
by Chuck S 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Along with "Starman" enjoying his cool ride in the Tesla aboard the Space X rocket, there is a documentary out on the Voyager satellites commemorating the 40th anniversary of their launch, and the people behind it, some of whom are still managing the project today. It's title is "The Farthest." With its connection to Starman, thought I'd share some reviews and how you can view this very interesting film, garnering universal acclaim. This is a search which lists all reviews. https://www.bing.com/search?q=reviews+of+%22the+farthest%22 <https://www.bing.com/search?q=reviews+of+%22the+farthest%22&form=EDGTCT&qs= PF&cvid=b4fe9e9c320b4570ab371e820f0c34d6&refig=682d6d79d6c441cf9a9b57bd55d54 ce8&cc=US&setlang=en-US> &form=EDGTCT&qs=PF&cvid=b4fe9e9c320b4570ab371e820f0c34d6&refig=682d6d79d6c44 1cf9a9b57bd55d54ce8&cc=US&setlang=en-US For a quick summary, try this one: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-capsule-farthest-voyage r-in-space-review-20170809-story.html It's available for purchase in DVD or Blu-Ray at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073LPCNL1/.

Among the Stars: Deb Gallagher
by Todd Andrews 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Posted by Todd Andrews (starman(a)pobox.com) I am incredibly saddened to report that Deborah "Deb" Gallagher passed away at her Springfield, Oregon home on February 1, 2017. She was 66. She was a long-time member of Spotlight Starman International and attended several STARMAN FAMILY-CONs over the years. She was also one of the hosts of the two *STARMAN "The Return" Adventure* conventions held here in Portland, Oregon in 1991 and 1995. Deb did not have a computer for the last several years and I did not know she had an account on Facebook: https://facebook.com/deborah.gallagher.1272 Unfortunately, I know of no way to post messages on her Timeline unless her account can "friend" you first. I'm in touch with her brother Terry and will ask him if anyone monitors her account now, so that those of us who knew her personally can write on her Timeline, and her *many* relatives will know how much Deb will be missed.

I love this quote

"Beautiful shots of Starman chilling in the Tesla Roadster. Absolutely incredible." - SpaceX engineer and launch commentator Michael Hammersley. Which inspires a few more: “Whoa, Dad, where did you get the cool wheels?” “Don’t worry, Scott, I won’t be orbiting for a billion years. My friend from Algeiba will pick me up as soon as we clear Earth’s atmosphere. The car will though. It’s not really my car, I just borrowed it to give the launch some dramatic flair. And dramatic it was. Watch this!” SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launches successfully <http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/02/06/spacex-falcon-heavy-rocket-launch…> . <http://a57.foxnews.com/media2.foxnews.com/BrightCove/694940094001/2018/02/0…> SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket has launched successfully, making history as the world's most powerful rocket.

George and Jill Wells will be available any weekend in October. I wasn't completely happy with the hotel's restaurant options or lack thereof. I think it might be good to arrange a field trip to another restaurant not within walking distance. We could either use the hotel van, taxis or carpool. We don't plan to get a car. I could try to find a few options via web search. Thanks for taking on the con. Jill
