Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro
"That's no space station…it's a moon."

For any Star Wars fans here – a great photo of Saturn’s moon Mimas which highlights its resemblance to the Death Star:
-
That is funny. Thanks Marc.
-
Star Wars theme park on Mimas in the year 2130.

It’s real. We’re facing imminent destruction.

It is not facing Alderaan, so it may have switched the target. :-o

You better get on the moon.
After Israel gets nuked, they respond by launching there own nukes into every major islamic city in the Mid-East and in Africa with there surrounding military bases.
Pakistan then fires there nukes into India. India fires there nukes back at Pakistan and they also hit China. China fires there nukes at all there enemies in Southeast Asia.
They hit Japan, Philippines,Indonesia and Malaysia. Also hit is India And Old Russia. Then they hit Australia.
Then Russia launches there 5000 nuclear weapons into Europe, Western Hemisphere, China, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela,Panama Canal,Brazil, Columbia, and Argentina.
US launches there nukes into Russia,China,North Korea, Cuba,Libya,Mid-East and Southeast Asia.Guess it time to move to South of Congo or the moon.

“Hello, what have we here?”
“That blast came from the Death Moon.”

Another moon with much more strange features, Iapetus:
“Iapetus [eye-AP-i-tus] is the seventeenth of Saturn’s thirty three currently known moons, and the third largest.”

And even more similarities with Death Star.
There is a lot to read but you can just scroll down to the big pictures down the article.
Or you can go here to see the comparison:

That guy who owns that site is crazy. He is always on Art Bell’s radio show and late Night coast to coast.
He inferred that it was “the death star”…waiting for the right time to head to earth and blow it up. Rediculious

That’s the issue with pseudo-science. Peoples need to make outrageous and never eared announcements to get attention and eventually money.
This guy puts a lot of interesting facts on his site but when it put them together,
he is like Richard Castle telling a murder story to Lt Becket who’s trying to figure the puzzle out of a bunch of facts.
Castle’s story remains false but it provides new hints to get further in the investigation of the case.In the first video, at 55 minutes and 00 second, Hoagland talk about this Saturn’s moon (Iapetus) and about artificial moon.
http://www.enterprisemission.com/videos.htmlThis moon was in the book of Arthur C. Clark, as the goal while it was change in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey for a Jupiter’s moon:
In the background to the story in the book, an ancient and unseen alien race uses a device with the appearance of a large crystalline monolith to investigate worlds all across the galaxy and, if possible, to encourage the development of intelligent life. The book shows one such monolith appearing in ancient Africa, 3 million years B.C. (in the movie, 4 million years), where it inspires a starving group of hominids to develop tools. The ape-men use their tools to kill animals and eat meat, ending their starvation. They then use the tools to kill a leopard preying on them; the next day, the main ape character, Moon-Watcher, uses a club to kill the leader of a rival tribe. The book suggests that the monolith was instrumental in awakening intelligence.
The book then shows the year C.E. 1999, detailing Dr. Heywood Floyd’s travel to Clavius Base on the Moon. Upon his arrival, Floyd attends a meeting, where a lead scientist explains that they have found a magnetic disturbance in Tycho, one of the Moon’s craters, designated Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One, or TMA-1. An excavation of the area has revealed a large black slab, precisely fashioned to a ratio of exactly 1:4:9, or 1�:2�:3�, and therefore believed the work of intelligence. Floyd and a team of scientists travel across the Moon to view TMA-1, and arrive as sunlight falls upon it for the first time in three million years. It then sends a piercing radio transmission to one of the moons of Saturn, Japetus (Iapetus),[2] where an expedition is then planned to investigate.
