While I am a BIS member, and would abandon several other space groups before
giving up the BIS, I would point out that characterizing the BIS as a
"space activist group" is stretching it a bit.  The BIS's focus is technical
and educational, not "activist".  It looks farther into the future than any
of the other groups, even the professional-aerospace ones, and that alone
makes membership worthwhile.  But apart from occasional low-key efforts in
Britain, the BIS is in the business of talking about space rather than
making it happen.  The BIS publications make fascinating reading, but that's
almost all there is to the BIS.  My life membership in L5 isn't because I
liked its publications.
