Last mission covered: STS 77 on 17/9/2004
For those who have been following the story: not only was I
turned away just prior to my third visit in 2001 thanks to post-9/11 security hysteria.
Now, due to budget cuts, NASA no longer supplies imagery to foreigners. To
quote a reply to my latest email a couple of days ago:
Due to budget cuts and reduction in
our staff, we have had to reduce the services we can provide. As a result, we are no
longer providing imagery to international clients. You can locate both high-res and
low-res imagery online in multiple locations through www.nasa.gov but we will not be able
to provide research services or additional imagery to you beyond that collection at this
time. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.
This is the final nail in the coffin, and there is no longer any way for me to maintain this site. I can't visit, and I'm not even deserving of online assistance. I like the little bit about being able to locate hi-res pics on various NASA sites(!) I. Did. Not. Know. That. Way to insult my intelligence!

About my science fiction...
Over the past 20
years I have written thirteen short stories and three full-length novels - The Fertile
Crescent, Stranger, my Brother and A Sunburnt Country - all set in my
Commonwealth of Humanity future history. I write strongly character-based fiction,
not trendy cyberpunk or derivitive fantasy-type rubbish. Unfortunately, there seems
to be no market for this sort of story.
After nearly 50 query letters I have been ripped off for US$300
and not received any positive criticism whatsoever. If anyone knows the true
way to earn a publishing contract in these days of unimaginitive pseudo-fantasy, please
let me in on the secret...
