     Yes, Voyage! will be out in about 3 or 4 months & will be a 
bi-monthly magazine devoted to meteorites & "space events" 
(which could meen astronomy, space exploration, commets, etc.) 
One of its primary intents is to "turn on" amature astronomers & 
space travel afectionodos to meteorites, their implications & 
collection - a link that is often surprisingly absent among 
astronomically oriented magazines, clubs, etc.
     Its success may very well depend on initial subscriptions & I 
may have a link from my web site for further information in the 
near future. 
    This is also an excelent opportunity for people to submit articles 
about any aspect of meteorites and/or collecting meteorites with a 
very good chance of getting published. 
    Interested parties have a unique opportunity to influence the 
tennor or the meteoritical aspect of this publication, as it is just 
getting started & the editor does not seem to be overly 
sophisticated in the realm of meteoritics. However, his heart seems 
to be in the right place. (I believe he is FAR more sophisticated 
about astronomy & has deep ties to NASA, and NASA photos)
    I believe the input recieved by us, as collectors - and those of us 
who are researchers, will largely shape the meteoritical aspect of 
this publication & set the tone for years to come (provided it lasts 
that long)
     We have been very lucky to have METEORIT!  This is a chance to 
have ANOTHER publication - this one every 2 months instead of 
every 3. (is there anyone out there that WOULDN'T want any more 
current information on meteorites?) However, METEORITE! has a 
meteoritically sophisticated editor - none of us had to do anything 
except buy it. I don't think this is the case here, but the potential is.
     Individuals interested can contact me privately via email (to 
spare uninterested readers)   Michael
