Solsector.net Welcomes Battle Stations

A few days ago we updated about a new fan made WC arcade shooter which is being worked on by Daniel Brito. Now the project has its own website, based on the CIC's own Sol Sector hosting service. The site is still in early stages, but you can expect it to grow as the project progresses. You can view the WCBS site here.

Wing Commander Battle Stations is a fan made shooter. Taking place during the Wing Commander I Era, you will encounter numerous foes. But you are not alone in the battle, you will be aided by other Confederation fighters and carriers in a battle to save Vega Sector from the Kilrathi.

New Space Initiative Appears Imminent

A number of sites are reporting rumors that President Bush will be kicking off a new US space initiative within the next few days. I'm actually quite surprised at the number of sources carrying the story, especially since none of the details are yet announced. Most prominent among the rumors are a new reusable space vehicle, returning to the moon, a manned moon base and a human Mars mission. It sounds ambitious, but if that sort of talk gets you excited, you might want to pay attention to the news around Wednesday. Geebot was the first to bring this to our attention.
