I have recruited the editor of the Space Review, Jeff Foust, and the editor of HobbySpace, Clark Lindsey, to help me to make this selection. Next year, we will seek a corporate sponsor and celebrity judges, and try to emulate the Pulitzer Prizes with its categories and resources. However, this year, we will just do it. Check out http://www.spacejournalism.com and let me know what you think.<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />So if you are not building a rocket yet, at least start sharpening your quill pens to help humanity spread to stars. A worthy cause.

Preference will be given to those submissions that are freely accessible or available at a nominal charge . . .</font><br /><br />Did I just "publish" this post?<br /><br />Does the author need to use his legal name, or does a nom-de-plume count?<br /><br />IOW, could spacester theoretically win with a post on this forum? Just as an example, mind you. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
