If all this is news to you, that means you’re not reading the High Frontier Forums. And unless your handle is Timpraetor, you’re definitely not participating in them. Why the heck not?!? We’re a community of people all excited about space or gaming or space-gaming. Please stop on by, create an account, and say hello in the Welcome forum. We’d really love to hear from you.
