I've decided to mirror a small number of documents here at Cinxia, under the belief that information should be archived in more than one place online if possible.

Documents will only be here if the author's intent is that the documents may be reproduced.

Apollo 14 Golf

A transcript of Alan Shepard's golf outing on the lunar surface is archived here.

Iain M. Banks

Iain Banks is a British author best known in the United States for his "Culture" novels. His essay on the philosophical underpinnings of the Culture is archived here.

Vernor Vinge

Vernor Vinge is a recently retired professor of computer science at San Diego State University. He is also the author of such science fiction works as A Fire Upon the Deep and the prescient "True Names."

Three of his nonfiction essays are archived here:

Asteroid Satellites and Tidal Moraines

Nature, Bloody in Tooth and Claw?
