Four CONSOLIDATION
Message Transmitted to the Bologna Intergalactic Conference, April 18-19 1998 From the Association of Autonomous Astronauts The Association of Autonomous Astronauts (AAA) move into the fourth phase of their Five Year Plan for establishing a world-wide network of local, community-based AAA groups. This phase is described as the CONSOLIDATION, during which Autonomous Astronauts examine the achievements that they have made so far and prepare for the final push into the year 2000. The AAA has conducted a highly successful and meticulously planned campaign against the state, corporate and military monopoly of space exploration. Autonomous Astronauts now require a period of intense reflection, time to gather themselves together and analyse all that has happened to them. This important phase of consolidation marks a critical moment in the Five Year Plan, the point at which AAA groups decide how they will proceed into the final stage of the AAA's evolutionary project. The Bologna Intergalactic Conference will bring together AAA delegates from around the world to present reports from their local, community-based space exploration groups. The conference will also expose local communities in Bologna to the possibilities that open up when we form autonomous communities in outer space. Moving in several directions at once, the AAA has declared, 'Only those who attempt the impossible will achieve the absurd'. |
