2 Years now since Doug unleashed the MER forums on us, later becoming UMSF.
How time flys! Thanks once again Doug, for all your hard work in bringing all us space addicts together. I've had a great time hanging around this place! Long may it continue. Cheers, James -------------------- |

Two years old! Does this mean that Doug gets to throw temper tantrums and toss food around?

All the same - we've been gassing on for two years and it's better than I could ever have imagined Thanks for you kind words - hmmmm - LAYER CAKE Doug |

Happy Birthday UnmannedSpaceflight! This causes me to reflect on just how fortunate we are that Doug had this vision and that it all came together so well. My only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner. Oh yeah, my other regret is that I didn't choose a simpler user name, but that's another story.
I'd like to use this occasion to thank all forum members for making this the excellent refuge that it is in the wild wild west of cyberspace. I've learned much from this collective community. Having so many like-minded individuals with which to share the adventures of space exploration has truly made the whole experience so much more enjoyable for me. -------------------- ...Tom
