The next meetings of the BIS ‘Science Fiction Virtual Branch’, the ‘Future Propulsion Virtual Group’, and the ‘Space Law and Space History Virtual Group’ will take place on Thursday 18th September (not the 11th!) by means of dedicated breakout rooms during the BIS Monthly Online Social that evening.
In addition, expressions of interest are invited about other possible new virtual special interest branches and groups, such as Space Art and Culture, Human Spaceflight, Practical Projects, Interstellar Studies, a Wales/Bristol branch and Lunar Studies. (In particular, there are ongoing discussions on a possible Bristol/Bath branch, if interested please do attend and let us know.)
This is an opportunity to pursue your particular interest – so join us online on the 18th and let us know!
Meanwhile, last month, the SF branch discussions included the novel ‘Project Hail Mary’, a science fiction book by American wr
iter AndyWeir, which has been well received and was a finalist for the 2022 Hugo Award for Best Novel. Members may care to read it to provide feedback at this September meeting.
