[oasis-members] Fwd: Future of Space Flight, topic of Cafe Inquiry, on July 26

[DRh9811850 at aol.com]

I thought people in the OASIS group might be interested in this event, put on 
by the Center for Inquiry, a group which was near and dear to Steve Allen, an 
inquiring mind if there ever was one. 

M G Lord is the daughter of a rocket scientist, a cartoonist and a free lance 
writer. Her latest book, "Astro Turf: The Private Life of Rocket Science", 
explores what it's like to work on a long engineering/science space project. 
She interviewed a lot of engineers and scientists at JPL, in the Galileo and 
Mars Pathfinder projects, about the toll and rewards of such work. She has 
attended a number of OASIS functions over the years, so some members may remember 
her.
