Ernst Stuhlinger argumentiert 1970: Warum ist Raumfahrt sinnvoll?

In einem Brief an eine Nonne in Afrika hat Ernst Stuhlinger im Jahre 1970 wundervoll argumentiert, warum Weltraumforschung und Raumfahrt sinnvoll ist. Auch dann, wenn die Menscheit andere und wichtigere Probleme hat.

STOT Classics #1/8: Xenon II

Eine offizielle STOT Runde im 2 oder 3 Wochentakt gibt es aktuell ja nicht. Thorn und Christos sind wohl desillusioniert. Aber die STOT Classics gibt es ja dnnoch. Im Februar 2012 spielen wir Xenon II und ich habe mal einen ersten brauchbaren Score erzielt, 89030 Punkte.

Zum Spiel selbst muss ich wohl nicht viel sagen, denke das kennt jeder. Ansonsten kann man sich bei Atarimania schlau lesen.
