Multi-Update

by Tom Hill last modified 2009-01-06 11:58

It's been over a month since I've updated this web page, but there's been a lot of action in other locations. The TEMPO team has been quite busy.

Multi-Update

TEMPO takes its place between the past and future

The TEMPO³ team has been very active the last few weeks.  It's hard to believe that, next week will move us into our fourth month of the project!  Here are some highlights:

  • Live video updates take place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 8:30PM ET at ustream.  Old shows are archived, so you can get caught up.
  • Multiple concepts are explained on YouTube.  We're up to five so far!
  • The video updates and YouTube videos are also conveniently accessible from this blog.
  • We've picked up some very excited and knowledgeable team members, who have brought some amazing ideas (and the technical capability to put them in action) to the project.
  • We've received our first major donation from the Louis L Stott Foundation.
  • We've spoken with Dick Gordon, who, along with Pete Conrad, actually rode on a spacecraft generating artificial gravity during the Gemini 11 mission, and are working with him to determine how he can help us.
  • A Mars Society member (Terry Mackintosh), built a 'lo-fidelity' model of TEMPO³ for explaining the concept.  He's refining the design for future updates.
  • Chris Vancil created a series of images (and eventually movies) that will show critical portions of the TEMPO³ mission.
  • Mike Carroll created a fine art image showing TEMPO³'s place between the past and future.
  • There is much more to come!
