Does anyone know if the L5 Society ever got weird and racist back in the day?
looks like not that i could find smoking guns of, but i was surprised to see the Heritage Foundation pop up as a supported (specifically to advocate the "High Frontier", I would presume in the interest of defense spending)
I think Jerry Pournelle was involved in that.
sure was! Him and the other ardent SF-Industrial-Complex guys
I must cop to reading Pournelle's Chaos Manor column voluntarily. I was very young.
