There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In Seeking Out New Life and New Civilizations, LCC Chair Jay P. Telotte was quoted "Artists of every ilk respond well to allowing the imagination to play, and the farthest reaches of space would seem the ultimate possibility for such free play of imagination. In the realm of science fiction, there is special appeal, as evidence the number of books that suggest the genre is about satisfying a human impulse for wonder. Voyaging to the stars allows for stories that pointedly address that wonder."
