SUMMARY:Loscon 49 Panel: When We Get to Space\, What Will Family Look Like?
DESCRIPTION:Individuals may explore space but it will take families to settle there\nJoin us for a Panel at Loscon* 49: an SF and Fantasy convention held every Thanksgiving weekend!\nLive Only Friday\, November 25th from 10 am to 11:30 am\nModerators: Glen Olson and Terry Brussel-Rogers\nSpecial Guest: Oberon Zell-Ravenhart\, founder of the real-life Church of All Worlds based on the one in Heinlein’s Stranger\nin a Strange Land\, the first legally recognized Neo-Pagan religion in the United States\nLocation: LAX Marriott | 5855 W Century Blvd Los Angeles\, 90045 \nRoom: Los Angeles 3 \n\n\n\nIndividuals may explore space but it will take families to settle there. People have always relied on Family for survival and for Joy when settling new environments. Humans will need Family even more as they leave Mother Earth for the stars. Many of our best SF and fantasy authors have tackled the question of how we are going to do it. People will have to get there in spaceships where they must get along with their shipmates over long periods of time to get where they are going.  \nThe damage jealousy (leading to murder) can do in such a situation is shown at the beginning of Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land. In The Rolling Stones\, Heinlein shows us three generations of family embarked on an exploration of the solar system and he introduces us to multigenerational Line Marriage in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Marion Zimmer Bradley’s colonists on Darkover and Spider Robinson’s writings show us more options including telepathic group marriage.  \nThis panel explores how Family will look as Space Travel and the possibility of children growing up on space stations\, the moon\, other planets\, or even under other stars becomes more and more a real possibility for the children and grandchildren of people living today.\n\n\n\n\n\n*Loscon 49 membership is required to attend the panel.\nIf you have not already purchased a Loscon 49 membership\, please do so at the door.\nPrices are as follows for full-weekend badges: Adults (13 and up) – $75.00\, Children (6 – 12) – $25\, Kid-in-Tow (<6) – Free\nLearn more about this year’s Loscon below:\n\nHome Page\nGuests of Honor\nHotel – Book your room\nSchedule (Downloadable PDF version)\nArt Show\nBlood Drive\nDealer’s Room\nMasquerade\nClassics of Science Fiction\nNEW!
