Eight years!
EIGHT years!! UMSF marks 8 years on February 8th. All hail to Doug (djellison) for making our lives so dependent on our daily fix of space images In the category of things that have changed since UMSF was born.... I remember when my computer screen was only 4:3 and I only had one to stare at. |

Indeed a milestone, and all credit to our Chairman! A remarkable achievement, sir.

The thanks should really go to the members for the content, the Planetary Society for their support, and the admin team of Glen, Dan and especially Emily for keeping us all on the rails.
I'm just along for the ride Just imagine what the next 8 years could hold. D |

Well done all on 8 great years! My life has changed so much in these 8 years, and still this place seems basically the same as when it started (only a bit bigger)
