Spacetime: Exploring & Utilising the Solar System

This isn't intended to be an all-encompassing guide to the future of solar system exploration (after all, I've only got 15 megabytes to play with). Rather, I hope to give a broad overview of the subject, dispel a few myths and point interested readers in the direction of some of the other resources out there on the web and beyond. This site is broadly divided into five topics as shown on the banner above: Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, asteroids and the outer planets. Use the icons above and the links in the left-hand margin to navigate through the site. (To return to this page at any time, click on the "Spacetime" logo in the top-left corner.)

So what about Mercury and Venus and all the other interesting places in the solar system? Well, I'm not saying that these aren't worthy topics for discussion, but the five subject areas represented here are "where the action is going to be" in the next century. Also, by deliberately leaving this site open-ended, I can expand on topics or add new ones later on.
