December 1999
Greetings From the Penultimate Year of the 20th Century.
New additions to our little group this month include Matthew Henley
and Curt Gibby from the North Houston area, and Larry McLoughlin
from Spring. Further afield, we add Brad Jenson from Tulsa, Oklahoma
right in the center of the USA, and lastly Lorraine Anderson, hailing
from the frozen wastelands of Three Rivers, Michigan. Welcome aboard,
all of you, and thanks for signing up.
Fasten your seatbelt and bring your browser window to an upright and
locked position. And we are off ....
As always, just how far off you have to determine for yourself.
Just time for a Cheerful Merry Christmas before we descend to ...
Fannish Deaths and Other Disasters
Walt Willis, Fan Guest of Honor at MagiCon, the 1992 Worldcon, and
the British fan who perfected the art of humorous fan writing died
of a heart attack in mid-October at the age of 79. Together with
Bob Shaw, he wrote the fannish classic, "The Enchanted Duplicator".
Walt was a Hugo fanzine finalist twice. Both his zines Slant
(Typeset by hand - he claimed his ancestors published that way and
he just reverted to type) and Hyphen, co-edited with Chuck Harris,
are immortalized on the Web in the FANAC Fanzine Index. TAFF (the
transatlantic fan fund) was an outgrowth of efforts to bring Walt
Willis to America.
A number of fans are remembering Walt with a donation to TAFF.

Ellen Datlow's Web Zine "Event Horizon: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and
Horror" is dead, as of December 15, 1999. The advantage with being
a zine is that there is always the possibility of a reincarnation
if only an investor or new owner to underwrite its continuation can
be found. Ellen has been hired by the Sci-Fi Channel's Web Zine as
a full-time editor in the meantime keeping her hand in by consulting
for Tor Books and editing various anthologies. Currently she is
buying short stories for theposition.com, a Web Zine launching in
January 2000 as an adjunct to, um, er, the Museum of Sex.

Science Fiction on TV
If Lost in Space can come back as a feature film, why can't
Battlestar Galactica (1978-1980) either come back at the
theater or as a new TV series (kind of Battlestar Galactica,
the Next Generation)?
Original series star Richard Hatch (Capt. Apollo) certainly
can't see why not. However, for this to happen Battlestar
Galactica needs YOU!
http://battlestar.homepage.com/
This is a really great site. (I was thrilled to hear the
original TV theme music again!) Hatch has been working
hard for some years now making appearances at sf cons all
over the country in support of Battlestar Galactica, The
Second Coming. Richard Hatch showed the 4 1/2 minute
trailer for a proposed new Battlestar Galactica when he
was here in Houston for a con last month. (Unfortunately,
Clif & I weren't able to make that one. Can anyone email
us and tell us what they thought of the new trailer and
what Mr. Hatch said while at the con about how his
Battlestar Galactica campaign has been coming?)
See also Richard Hatch's home page at
Anyone unfamiliar with Battlestar Galactica but who does
have access to the Science Fiction channel, please catch
an episode (yes, Sci-Fi is currently airing the original
series!)! Also, it just so happens that the Sci-Fi Channel
is showing one of its famous Chain Reactions this Friday!
''Battlestar Galactica -- Chain Reaction -- means episode
after episode of blockbuster chemistry --
It's a 21-hour Battlestar Galactica event. Commander Adama
and the human survivors of a planetary system holocaust
scramble aboard any space vessel they can to flee the slaughter
of the robotic Cylons. They can't go home, so they begin an
arduous journey to their mythical homeworld, a shining planet
known as Earth.
Airs Friday, December 24 from 8AM - 5AM Central Time!''

Atreides-Harkonnen Family Feud
Yes, Dune is coming back to TV as a miniseries, currently set
for October 2000. For everyone one who loved Frank Herbert's
original Dune series and for those who have read son Brian
Herbert & co-author Kevin J. Anderson's fine House Atreides
(book one of a prequel trilogy), this new miniseries should be
a real treat!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0553110616/fantasicfuturesbA
According to the official Dune Web site, ''[T]he SCI-FI
Channel has begun filming the six-hour miniseries
adaptation of Frank Herbert's DUNE, which will star
Academy-Award-winner William Hurt in the role of Duke
Leto Atreides.
Production began Monday, November 22, in Prague,
Czech Republic....
Casting is still underway, although it's been announced
that newcomer Alec Newman will play the key role of
Paul Atreides. Also, Muriel Baumeister will play Princess
Irulan, Uwe Ochsenknecht will play Stilgar, Ian McNeice
will star as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, and Barbara
Kodetova will take on the role of Chani. Italian screen
icon Giancarlo Giannini has been signed to play Emperor
Shaddam IV.
"Frank Herbert's DUNE" is scheduled to air in October
2000. The project is budgeted at more than $20 million.''

Spring 2000 TV season is right around the corner!
One new series is debuting, one old series is ending,
three are returning after a month's hiatus, and two are
changing air times.
The Others is the new series, to debut on NBC Saturday
Feb. 5. This is going to be a series about "psychic
phenomena" (in other words, the supernatural).
Sliders will be returning 1/14/2000 and airing its next to last
episode 1/28/2000.
Farscape is returning 1/7/2000 and will air its first season
finale 1/28/2000.
First Wave will be returning for its second season premiere
at a new day and time. Up until now it had been on Friday.
Starting 1/8/2000, it will be shown Sunday nights at 6-7 PM.
Outer Limits will also have a time change to 9:45 PM beginning
1/21/2000.

Science Fiction at the Movies
Well, it's going to be a very good Christmas this year.
The reason that I (Margaret) know that already is because
December 25, 1999 is the day when Galaxy Quest opens (in a
theater near you!).
Here's a bit of a teaser:
"DreamWorks' science fiction action-comedy Galaxy Quest
thus brings a new twist to the time-honored predicament
of the fish out of water."
If that hasn't piqued your interest, you didn't see the
Matt Lauer interview with Tim Allen on the Today Show,
Tuesday, Dec. 14, 1999.
If you are an sf fan with no sense of humor, stay home.
For the rest of us, I think that this movie is going to
be a blast!!
The people at Babelfish have nothing on the people at hit-n-run.
Babelfish can't do Gungan.
Now you can surf the web just like Jar Jar Binks does!

What's Your Star Wars Name
Courtesy: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/1970/swnames.html
Just for fun, have you ever figured out your "Star Wars" name?
If not, here are the simple rules on generating your own Jedi or
alien name! Do the following:
1.Start with the FIRST 3 letters of your LAST name.
2.Add the FIRST 2 letters of your FIRST name.
3.Add the FIRST 2 letters of your mother's maiden name.
4.Add the FIRST 2 letters of the city you were born in.
5.Then you are allowed to REMOVE one letter to make it sound cool.
Tim Emrick's Jedi name comes out to "Emr-ti Waleb" (EMRick, TImothy,
WAgoner, LEBanon). Step #5 would let you elide that
first name to something easier to pronounce, such as "Emri."
This system will occasionally produce very silly names. His fiancee's
Jedi name is Liter Manew, while the friend who told us
about this, Eric Reuss, has the Jedi name of Rue'Ro Ka'New
("row your canoe"?! ;-).
Back to Mars!
NASA may be missing Mars, but that doesn't mean you have to.
>From the movie's official Web site comes this synopsis:
''From acclaimed director Brian De Palma, MISSION TO MARS
is a dramatic space adventure starring Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle,
Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell, and Tim Robbins.
When the first manned mission to Mars meets with a catastrophic
and mysterious disaster, a rescue mission is launched to investigate
the tragedy and bring back any survivors.
Exciting and realistic, MISSION TO MARS is the inspirational story
of the astronauts of the hurried Mars Recovery mission, the almost
insurmountable dangers that confront the heroic crew on their journey
through space, and the amazing discovery they make when they finally
reach the Red Planet.''

Science Fiction On the Web
Another Red Dwarf Site - Oh the Horror!
The Red Dwarf League Against Salivating Monsters (LASM) operating
from the frozen wasteland of Detroit, have a Web page that ranges
from Fan Fiction to a photo guide of THEM, the monsters, mutants,
or just the atrociously silly salivating monsters.
Yes, this is your place to find your favorite piece of genetically
engineered spew-tum with a harsh attitude, with a penchant for soft
moist cranial suppers, that likes to feed on emotion, or is in any way
gross, dis'custin', or insane.
They have one of the best one-paragraph summaries of Red Dwarf
you are likely to read and they have a modest goal... To fulfill their
duty as complete and utter bastards by making as many other people
desire Red Dwarf as possible while scoffing at snideness, nit-pickyness,
and all other forms of smeggy gimboid-like behavior.
League Against Salivating Monsters - http://www.usol.com/~genimutant/
Fans of Total Recall 2070 will be happy to see T'Pell Wilson's
Citizen's Information Bureau: A Total Recall 2070 Jumpstation.
MP3s of the theme song, photos, contact information, lots of good
information, lots and lots and lots of well organized links.
Well done, T'Pell.
CIB:TR2070 - http://www.terraforming.com/tr2070.htm
Say what you will about the Sci-Fi channel, their Science Fiction
Weekly remains a fount of information.
Their 140th piece of cover art is up to their usual high standards.
Where else would you find out that Johnathan Jackson has emerged
as the top pick to play Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode II
or that Babylon 5's Jerry Doyle is running for Congress?
Science Fiction Weekly - http://www.scifi.com/sfw/current/
It's kind of hard to classify, even as fantasy/science-fiction,
but one of the best comics on the Web is _FEW and FAR Between_
(formally known as NOO Greak Kollum).
Currently Weeping William (who the Gods have turned invisible)
is conversing with Calculus, John Normal's Robot (who can see him
due to full-spectrum vision).
William has Calculus repair Cardamon Rose's pendant which Merry
broke when she threw it off while shouting at the sky (actually
the Cerian Plane where the Gods reside).
And while we don't know, it is hard not to suspect that this simple
act is yet another step on the emotional roller-coaster that artist,
Joda, is taking us on.
OK. It does take a little bit to get up to speed on this Web-comic
but there are archives that are well worth delving into. This Web
comic tackles issues that most novels would fear to touch.
I'm not sure how these little guys became my friends, but they did.
So I (Clif) am not neutral on this one, but, that said, I recommend
it VERY highly!
FEW and FAR Between - http:/www.fewandfarbetween.com/
Party! Party! Party!
Don't forget when you plan your new year that Several Unlimited and
their friends are organizing a block of parties to welcome in the
new millennium the night of December 31, 1999.
Where? The Courtyard by Marriott inside Loop 610 from the Galleria.
Hall Costume Awards
Party Food and Non-alcoholic drinks
Worldwide Y2K surveillance
The very best company in which to welcome the next thousand years.
For $5, you party through the night and hit any (or all) of the
component parties including the OwlCon party, and the Sentinel
Texas Tribe Party, not to mention Clif and Margaret's pre-
millennium party, since the REAL start of the next millennium
is 2001.
Several Unlimited is going all out with planned activities etc. and they
are also dropping some of their zine loot on their party, so believe me,
you're getting a bargain.
January 1, 2000 join the gathering of the Houston Ritual SF Breakfast
group at the hotel. Breakfast buffet at the Courtyard Restaurant is
$7.95 a person and for New Year's morning you won't find better food at
a better price.
Then, start off the New Year with Friends of Fandom's Open House
beginning shortly after the 10 AM Ritual SF breakfast. We might even
have a few black-eyed peas and a microwave available.
If you don't think you could pull a 24-hour party into the new year
and don't want to face the drunks on the road, there is always a hotel
room at $119/night, or next door at the Fairfield Inn at a somewhat more
reasonable $89/night for single or double occupancy.
Party Like It's 1999!!!

Space, The Final Frontier.
Extra-Bright Full Moon this month
>From the Farmer's Almanac:
''SINCE 1793, when The Old Farmer's Almanac began tracking
heavenly events and seasonal changes, the Moon has been full
on the first day of winter just nine times. This year, 1999, marks
the first time it has happened since 1980. But we have to go back
133 years, to 1866, to match this year's rare gathering of winter
solstice, full Moon, and lunar perigee (the point in the Moon's
orbit that is closest to Earth).''

There's Still Room Yet for Amateurs
Gary Hug and Graham Bell went out that night looking for
asteroids. What they found was a comet. Not bad for
a pair of amateurs!
The newly christened Hug-Bell Comet "'could well be the
faintest comet ever discovered by an amateur,' said Brian
Marsden, a member of the [International Astronomical Union],
the world's leading astronomical organization, after
professional astronomers confirmed it."
Hug-Bell is a short-period comet, re-visiting the Earth every
seven years.
For more information see:
Northeast Kansas Amateur Astronomers' League
http://www.cjnetworks.com/~nekaal/index.htm
(Unfortunately, the comet find has not yet been added to the
League's Web site, so far as I (Margaret) can determine. I should
think that it will be, later.)
Space the Final Frontier
This has been a frustrating time for NASA, and yet sometimes victory
has been snatched from defeat.
The smaller, cheaper, smarter approach to planetary exploration hit a
big speed bump with the loss of both Mars spacecraft.
Not even the probes that were to separate and dig into the Red Martian
soil ever let out a peep after the lander entered the atmosphere on a
picture perfect trajectory.
There are more Martian probes planned to follow up, but no one knows
what happened to this one [the Mars Polar Lander]. As I type, flight
controllers continue to work their way through a web of fault-tree
scenarios but the chances of recovering the lander long ago passed
dismal.
Last week, the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft began an
imaging campaign to look for evidence of the lander, parachute or
aeroshell. So far, nothing has been detected.
They will continue to work to find out what happened to the craft
until mid-January when they will have exhausted all possible recovery
modes.
At that time, the job of determining what happened will go to two
special review boards, one from JPL and one from NASA.
JPL's board has until March 3 to present a report, but neither board has
a lot of useful information to work with. Sometimes smaller, cheaper,
smarter leaves you shrugging your shoulders.
The Space Telescope sat useless while the shuttle launch to repair it
was delayed again and again, past its Y2K mandated window. But
NASA stretched the window a little more, and now the astronauts are
busy with Hubble's repair as I type.
As Galileo made its final productive approach to Io, the most volcanic
body in the solar system, an ill-timed burst of radiation scrambled
Galileo's electronics.
Programmers worked feverishly to send the spacecraft new software to
work around the problems and bring it out of safe mode. The instructions
reached Galileo in time for it to do part, if not all of its job.
But the pictures were worth it.
They caught a close-up of a massive volcanic eruption in action on Io.
The fiery lava fountain shot more than a mile above the moons surface,
erupting lava so hot and bright it over-exposed part of the camera
picture and left a bright blur in the middle.
These lava fountains were hot enough and tall enough to be
observed by the NASA Infrared Telescope atop Mauna Kea, HI.
By combining data from this telescope and Galileo observations,
scientists have their best chance ever to pin down temperatures.
Catching these fountains was a one-in-500-chance observation.
Galileo's camera and near-infrared mapping spectrometer show a region
of giant calderas, or crater depressions, in Io's northern latitudes and
provided new results on the dynamics of the solar system's most
powerful volcano, Loki.
Radiation was thought to have garbled many of the images from Galileo
and there only seemed to be only a quarter of enough data to
reconstitute the image from the noise, but LabVIEW software from
National Instruments in Austin, TX, was able to reconstitute the
pictures by iteratively making intelligent guesses about the missing
data.
The new Io images are available at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/pictures/io .
Additional information and pictures taken by Galileo are available
at http://galileo.jpl.nasa.gov .

More FFFeedback
We heard from T'Pell Wilson re the end of the main Hercules
series:
----
Um, maybe it was on purpose, but I noticed that in your discussion of
Kevin Sorbo's new show Andromeda you left out the following:
KS has the role of Dylan Hunt. Sound familiar? It should. This is
the third (or is it fourth?) version of Gene Roddenberry's story of the
man who was frozen in the near present and thawed in the future. At
least two pilots for the show were shot and aired many years ago. This
is another project dredged up by Majel Roddenberry from Gene's old
files.
This time (after being thawed) he becomes the captain of a generation
ship named Andromeda.
KS is not only the star, he's also an executive producer, so one
assumes that he has some hand in the changes to the story line.
Perhaps this is where the rumors of an ST based on a generation ship
are coming from.
(Perhaps - Clif)
Marina Syrtis is also guest starring in an Earth: Final Conflict coming
up in early December. She plays a nun with a group that worships the
Taelons. According to her Majel R. was not happy with EFC's second
season (who was?), but is happier with the way the third season is
going. (Maybe we can look forward to it improving in the near future.)
Advertising for the con this weekend (Nov.20-21) with Richard Hatch
say he will be showing "a new Galactica trailer"????? Is someone
trying to sell a new Galactica series, or is this from a (real or
proposed?) movie? (Maybe this is where the "Galactica-like ST series"
rumor is coming from????)
(Maybe. Thanks for the information, T'Pell. Read Margaret's comments
about the Galactica series earlier this issue. - Clif)
According to the November 18th Houston Chronicle, Time Warner is
announcing a new digital cable service. 200 channels (no waiting).
No new wiring is required, only a new set-top box and a new remote.
(They told me universal remotes will not work with this new box.) They
don't even have the boxes yet, but told me that they are due to receive
them next week. You can get the new service just by dropping by their
office and picking up the new box. It is supposed to cost about $10 a
month more than your standard analog service.
For any TR2070 fans; If you get the new digital service, you pay the
same additional $12.95/mo that you are paying now to get ShowTime, but
instead of 2 ShowTime channels, you get 5. One of those 5 is ShowTime
Beyond, their dedicated-to-scifi channel. ShowTime Beyond is airing
TR2070 between one and three times PER DAY.
Also, please visit my TR2070 site:
http://www.terraforming.com/tr2070.htm
I am seriously considering putting up one (or more) chat rooms dedicated
to TR2070, and would like to hear from anyone who has any comments.

We also heard from Marianne Dyson-
Friends and family -
I am so pleased with the first professional review of my book, Space
Station Science, that I wanted to share it with you. It is published
in the November 15, 1999 Booklist, page 619 - a publication of the
American Library Association.
"Dyson, Marianne J. Space Station Science: Life in Free Fall. 1999. 128p"
