          Space FrontierCon IV "Space: Fiction or Frontier?"

                     October 6-8, 1995

    Continental Plaza LAX Airport Hotel, Los Angeles, CA


Where the America's real space leaders and the top writers and producers of
science fiction meet. Come and join those who are revolutionizing our space
program as we discuss what we must do to begin the settlement of the high
frontier!

We are not talking pie in the sky either. From those building the real
rockets that will replace the space shuttle, to NASA astronauts and
officials, to the enterpreneurs who want to Return to the Moon, to the
politicians who are rewriting the laws so that we can all someday go too,
this is the real thing. What you hear about at this conference today will be
the news the world hears tomorrow. So join us and join the space revolution!
