  • The Game Ships

    The Game Ships

    CONSTRUCTIBLE STRATEGY GAMETM THE GAME RocketmenTM: Axis of Evil is a fast and furious game of spaceship combat between two or more players, who battle for the resources of an asteroid belt and ultimately for the fate of the entire solar system. Players collect ships and crew to build customizable fleets, and then they gather resources during the game to add more ships to their fleets. These rules describe the two-player version of the game; optional rules can be found online at www.wizkidsgames.com. Game Pack Contents Each Game Pack contains 6 plastic styrene cards (2 ship cards and 2 base cards, or 1 ship card and 1 Fighter squadron and their base cards; 1 crew card; and 1 resource card), 2 cardboard ship data cards, 1 cardboard asteroid, 1 six-sided die (d6), and these rules. Winning the Game The first player to capture his or her opponent’s home base, or to destroy all of the ships in his or her opponent’s active fleet, wins. SHIPS Each ship is composed of the pieces used to construct the ship itself and the ship’s base and stand. Carefully punch out the ship’s pieces one at a time and construct it by following the assembly instructions printed on its base card. Ship pieces can be inserted back into their cards for storage in trading card sleeves. After punching out pieces, some thin plastic pegs might remain attached to the card. Break off these pegs if they interfere with reinserting the ship pieces after play. All the information needed to play a ship is printed on its data card and base.

    Space Oddities for the Age of Space Tourism

    SPACE ODDITIES FOR THE AGE OF SPACE TOURISM Michael Mooradian Lupro A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Donald McQuarie, Advisor Lynn E. Pearson Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jeremy Wallach © 2009 Michael Mooradian Lupro All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Donald McQuarie, Advisor This research focuses on musical representations of space in the context of the nascent space tourism industry. The argument contextualizes music as a political practice, one that conceptually constructs spaces and thus could intervene in the colonization of space as produced, largely discursively so far, by transnational entertainment corporations. I specifically focus on the musical texts “Space Oddity” by David Bowie, “Rocketman” by Elton John, and “Space is the Place” by Sun Ra as examples of interventions and revisions of dominant space discourse. Methodologically, the production and reception processes of popular music are used as a template for generating analyses of how particular musical texts might intersect with other culture industry productions such as space tourism. The research concludes that popular music has the capacity to help keep space open for multiplicity, diversity, equity, and, if need be, resistance. iv For Beth, Shaun, and Charley v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The greatest debt is owed to my life coach, editor, inspiration, and reality check Beth Ann Kaufka Jr. and our daughters Shaun (who joined us as the PhD process started) and Charley (who joins us as this project draws to a close). My parents Donald and Barbara provided all the right carrots and sticks to prepare me for the opportunity of higher education.

    An Examination of Predictions About Outer Space During the Space Race in the Hu

    THE HARDEST TO ACHIEVE, THE EASIEST TO IMAGINE: AN EXAMINATION OF PREDICTIONS ABOUT OUTER SPACE DURING THE SPACE RACE IN THE HUNTSVILLE TIMES, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, AND ORLANDO SENTINEL by LANE ELIZABETH STAFFORD DIANNE M. BRAGG, COMMITTEE CHAIR PAT DUGGINS AMBER HUTCINS A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Journalism in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2020 Copyright Lane Elizabeth Stafford 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT For thousands of years humans have made predictions about outer space in fictional and non-fictional works. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union proved space exploration was possible with the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik I. This event marked the beginning of The Space Race, a fierce competition between the United States and Soviet Union that changed the world forever. American newspapers not only aided in documenting the Space Race, but also featured predictions about outer space. This study examines newspapers published near NASA’s main centers during the Space Race’s pivotal years, 1957 until July of 1969. This study aims to reveal what journalists and other citizens who lived near Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, and Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida predicted and discussed regarding space exploration. Journalistic theories such as framing and agenda-setting are employed to explain how conversations in these newspapers may have affected public opinion or the efforts of NASA. The themes that emerge within these articles reveal diverse attitudes about space travel, biased reporting, and hopeful predictions that may have inspired the future.
