Science Fact From Fiction
Embedded Geek writes "The European Space Agency maintains an ongoing project called Innovative Technologies from Science Fiction for Space Applications (ITSF) (Cliquetez ici pour la version française). Its goal is "to review past and present SF literature, artwork and films in order to identify and assess innovative technologies and concepts described which could be possibly developed further for space applications." While I had known about Clarke first envisioning the geostationary satellite, the site also lists some other interesting ideas first pitched in SF: planetary landers, rocket fins, and space stations assembled in orbit. Visitors to the site are encouraged to submit technologies from SF works, although they should look at the master keyword list to avoid duplication first. Also of interest is a spiffy little brochure and a writing contest. Even if it never results in any new technology actually being developed, the site is a nice resource for science educators and science fiction fans."
Please, don't do this. English isn't my first language, but since this is an english forum I do my best and give it a try. I guess its not perfect but still ok.
But this sentence is just horrible! Never make fun of "All your base are belong to us" and then go on and write such french crap... well, unless of course you want to make ass of yourself for some foreign countries ;)
You sure you posted this under the right topic ?!?
