From: guy@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Guy A. Schiavone) In the November 1990 "IEEE Spectrum" there is an article that contains the sentence: "The U.S. Air Force, in its Project Forecast II report, offers dozens of initiatives to maintain military supremacy, including 'electronic associates' to aid pilots and the possible stationing of robots on the moon." (pg. 32) I am intrigued by the part about robots on the moon. Can anyone shed any further light on this? Robots on the moon for what purpose? Why on the moon instead of in orbit? How close is this idea to being put into action? Any answers (or speculations) would be appreciated. -Guy Schiavone guy.schiavone@eleazar.dartmouth.edu
