about this website

ars astronautica was re-launched in December 2008.

The website has been developed in Dreamweaver. The design is based on the Deja Vu CSS layout extension from Project Seven. Also, the image galleries use Project Seven's Lightshow Magic extension which has been modified to accept dynamic images from a PHP/MySQL database which I designed.

The Space Quotes and the Texts and Publications section are a custom built PHP/MySQL applications which incorporate a number of Dreamweaver extensions from DMXzone.

Likewise the Blog section which also incorporates a RSS feed.

Arthur Woods, December 2008

"There is no way back into the past; the choice, as Wells once said, is the universe--or nothing. Though men and civilizations may yearn for rest, for the dream of the lotus-eaters, that is a desire that merges imperceptibly into death. The challenge of the great spaces between the worlds is a stupendous one; but if we fail to meet it, the story of our race will be drawing to its close."
