Space 1999
Festival of independent and community-based space exploration
June 18th - 27th
London Earth
The days of this society are numbered. Its reasons and its merits have
been weighed in the balance and found wanting; its inhabitants are
divided into two parties, one of which wants to build their own
spaceships and leave this society behind. 'Space 1999' explores the new
possibilities that open up when we form autonomous communities in outer
space.
The Association of Autonomous Astronauts (AAA) was launched on April
23rd 1995 as the world's first independent and community-based space
programme. A Five Year Plan was also established for creating, by the
year 2000, a world-wide network of local, community-based AAA groups
dedicated to building their own spaceships. 'Space 1999' will form part
of the AAA's FINAL PUSH, and will bring together Autonomous Astronauts
from around the world to present various activities, including media
invasions, recruitment drives and propaganda efforts. This ten day
festival will also expose local communities in London to the
possibilities of independent space exploration.
Moving in several directions at once, the AAA has declared: 'Only those
who attempt the impossible will achieve the absurd'.
