I, along with the rest of the admin team here at UnmannedSpaceflight.com have a big announcment to make today: The Planetary Society and UnmannedSpaceflight.com are joining forces. Here's the Society's press release about it. I'm so excited! You guys with your fantastic work processing space images are exactly the kind of people we seek to connect with, inspire, educate, and in turn, see you educating everyone around you about what's going on in the exploration of our solar system.
Some of you may be a little concerned about this new partnership -- you may be thinking that the Planetary Society will try to change the way the forum is run. Let me assure you that that will not happen. My bosses at the Society recognize that the reason this place is so great is that it is a community that has grown around itself, developed its own rules, and is functioning very well on its own terms. The administrative policies will not change. All that is changing is that the Society is agreeing to be responsible for the financial maintenance of the website; and that when you make donations to support this site, your donations are tax-deductible (at least in the U.S). If you have any questions or concerns about this new collaboration, please do not hesitate to ask me or any other member of the admin/mod team. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

We have a winner!!! Yep, that was it, same as last year. Thanks, Emily!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I'm sure there has been far more work behind the scenes to make this happen than people are modestly coming clean about so many congratulations to all.
To Emily and all the other administrators - you can feel a real warm glow of pride with this news at a job well done. Doug - many congratulations on your 'new' job. It must be a dream come true. Now if JPL just needed an accountant/statistician... Neil |
