Welcome to the Island One Society web pages. Island One is a beast of the information age, a well which is intended as a meeting place for future space colonists and business people of a libertarian or at least live and let live bent. Our name is taken from Dr.Gerard O'Neill's concept for a full fledged L5 Colony, a Bernal Sphere he labeled "Island One".

This is not a membership organization - it is you and I and anyone else who assists in making this server a resource useful for those who will build free societies beyond the Earth. If you have useful reports or documents in electronic form that you feel will be of general interest; if you have suggestions for format changes; if you are artistic or a good ferret and have some nice icons; if you would like to translate important hardcopy space policy, law, study, biographical, or any documents you feel are relevant to free market space activists and are willing to type in, find or translate documents to html, drop us a line at amon@islandone.org or amon@vnl.com.

Particularly high on our wanted list are documents relating to Europe and locations other than the United States.

If you don't know whether you're a libertarian or not, take the World's Smallest Political Quiz and find out (courtesy of the Advocates for Self Government).

    Disclaimer

    Inclusion of names in the preceding list implies no political allegiance or agreement with any particular point of view or policy stated on this server other than that they wish to "open the space frontier". Nor does it imply anything whatsoever about the opinions of their places of employment, parents, spouses, next door neighbors or pet birds.

    Statements such as this are rather silly. Unfortunately this planet is full of very silly people - many of whom have more power than brains. So we'll humour them ... until we leave.

    Information about this server

    Island One resides in Belfast and was the fourth web server to go live on the net from Northern Ireland (the MMSG portion, 19940610), preceded only by the Queens University of Belfast (199401), University of Ulster and Genesis Project Ltd (19940420). The Space Digest Archive portion was available as an ftp site from Queens University of Belfast since 1992-1999. Prior to that they resided at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Both the website and archive are now hosted courtesy of Village Networking Ltd and Direct Net Access of Belfast.
