A book I highly recommend to those of you who want to join and/or
form various space groups and need some background information on
doing so can obtain this help from Michael A. G. Michaud's 1986 book,
REACHING FOR THE HIGH FRONTIER: THE AMERICAN PRO-SPACE MOVEMENT,
1972-84, by Praeger Publishers, 521 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10175
(a division of Greenwood Press, Inc.), ISBN 0-275-92150-6 (paperback),
$17.95. 436 pages.
Michaud's book not only gives an excellent history of the
development of U.S. (and British) space groups over the past decades,
but also lists addresses of major space groups and has an excellent
bibliography. The most interesting fact is that whenever NASA activity
goes on the wane, pro-space group activities increase.
