Subject: Private moon venture given U.S. clearance

Looks like I've been given the wonderous ability to post news as well (along with my memetic sidekick Bobo the Chimp). So, as my first item I shall act in my official capacity as Space Lord of the Ambrose Bierce Mexican Travel Agency Cabal and pass this along: "U.S. authorities have given their approval for the first commercial flight to the moon, the group sponsoring the mission announced." http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/09/13/moon.venture/index.html There's a good oportunity to send the first Discordian propaganda to the moon too: "Eventually, the Trailblazer will go down to the lunar surface, film the descent and deliver a time capsule with cargo from Earth, including personal mementos like photographs and messages. But it comes with a price. To deposit a business card, for example, will cost $2,500. "
