The relevant (and semi-relevant) news reports:

I remember finally doing a plain-ASCII hex-map of the
RC area, to illustrate the requirement for those deep-space
depots, but that was years ago, and I don't know where
that text-image would be these days. :-P
PS, would whomever maintains the BARD site please update
my e-mail address there? That site is still using my old
college e-mail address, which I haven't used since the
previous millenium... ;-)
Thanks,
Franklin
