Fancy watching a launch at Baikonur?

Hi Everyone,

Just a note to say I have now posted full info on our 3 proposed
tours to Kazakhstan to see the launch of Mars Express next year, at
Baikonur, on the SDC web site. The trip is from London, not the US,
but all space fans will be welcome providing we know who you are in
advance. Details are in the Settlers' folder in the 'Files' section.
For anyone who doesn't know how to get there, here is the full URL:

any of you be interested, and have problems getting to the web site,
drop an email to me, andy-nimmo@... and ask, and I'll send
you a copy by reply.

We are proposing 3 trips, one fully inclusive 9 nights, one on a b&b
basis also 9 nights, and a 5 nighter. The first two are tentatively
scheduled to leave London 16th May next year, and the 5 nighter on
the 21st May. Dates may change if the proposed launch date of 23rd
May changes. We are space fans organizing for space fans, so getting
the launches right is more important than anything else.

The data includes info on easy ways of paying etc. By 16th November,
we hope to have the full www.Space-Settlers.com web site up and
running, whereby we will by then be able and willing to accept
credit card payments, should that suit you. However, if you want to
go at all, even if at this stage you can't see how you'll get the
funds together, do please follow the directions in the paper at the
above URL and get on the list. Anybody not on the list by 16th
October this year, will be too late.

Best wishes, Andy.
