Plurality of Worlds, by Steven J. Dick

Acquired a copy of this today. It should be a good source to check my theory that Kepler was the first xenoarchaeologist/exoarchaeologist/planetary SETI researcher.

Extreme cultural tourism from Antarctica to the Moon

Dirk Spennemann's new paper on space heritage is now available.
Humanity has an affinity for adventure and discovery. History has shown that in places previously deemed out of reach, intrepid pioneers first visit, followed by an audacious few, and then finally by the segment of general tourist population that can afford it. Thus, increasingly remote heritage places have come under threat from visitation, and it is time to consider the implications for future heritage sites on the lunar surface. While ecotourism principles can be implemented on planet earth, merely visiting lunar landing sites of the Apollo program can diminish their heritage value.

Space archaeology events 2008

I still hope that the British Interplanetary Society will host its Archaeology for Space symposium in 2008, but if it doesn't, there's a chance that the World Archaeological Congress will have a related session.
