Avatar’s Venture Star
The spaceship from James Cameron’s film is far less fanciful than it appears and even plausibly deals with several problems posed by interstellar travel.
A space magazine on-line
In just a few years, the “Forum de la Conquête Spatiale” (the Space Conquest Forum dedicated to the ISS), created at the initiative of “Mustard” (the administrator), has become a must for astronavigation enthusiasts on the French-language Internet. Enjoy Space Internet users are quite familiar with this forum since its “chat” is used as a relay for asking questions that we then answer during space events that are broadcast live with French commentary on EnjoySpaceTV.
After several weeks of hard work, this highly active forum (more than 1,500 members, thousands of messages on hundreds of subjects every month) has just published its first magazine: “FCS Mag” (“FCS” being the initials of “Forum de la Conquête Spatiale”). As far as we are aware, this is the first on-line publication totally dedicated to space and produced courtesy of the voluntary participation of enthusiasts. The first edition, “FCS mag n°1”, which spans more than 100 pages, is available free of charge in PDF format and can be downloaded from this page.
