Miners' Manifesto
| MMM
is a two decades old tradition that began with issue #1 in December, 1986 as the
newsletter of Milwaukee Lunar Reclamation Society L5 (prior to the
merger of the former L5 Society and the former National Space
Institute.) |

Read "M" is for "Mole"
- The wellspring of inspiration that continues to fuel MMM articles
comes from a personal experience that is described in issue #1

is published ten times a
year (except January and July) |
| MMM's
December 2008 issue, #221, marks our 22nd anniversary. |
| MMM now serves several other participating NSS chapters
across the country, as well as the Moon Society,
since issue # 90 in November 1995 |
| Circulation is international. |

Content
& Themes:
| Most issues deal with the opening of the Lunar frontier,
suggesting how pioneers can make best use of local
resources and
learn to make themselves at home.
Some of the points made will relate specifically to pioneer
life in the lunar environment. |
| But much of what will hold for the Moon, will
also hold true for Mars and for space in general. We have one Mars theme issue each year, and
occasionally other
space destinations
are discussed: the asteroids, Europa (Jupiter), Titan (Saturn), even
the cloud tops of Venus. |
The Moon Society Journal:
| The four page
centerfold section of each issue of Moon Miners' Manifesto is reserved
for the use of the Moon Society. LRS member are free to belong or not
to belong to the Moon Society. Local (Milwaukee/SE Wisconsin) members
