This anniversary almost passed us by...
February 8th 2004 was the date that saw the introduction of the forum that we all enjoy so much.
I just wanted to pass on my thanks to Doug Ellison for taking the brave (although he may sometimes think 'foolish') step of setting up the Unmanned Spaceflight forum.

For me, it has opened up - literally - an entire world of interaction with like-minded people.
The thoughts, knowledge and talents of the people on this forum continues to astound and delight me.
UMSF has become a daily habit (many times daily!) and I am proud to be both an enthusiastic contributor and an administrator in Doug's team.

Here's to last 5 years and many, many more Sols to come smile.gif

Being slightly serious for 5 seconds - Helen has been a part of the UMSF story as well. Lesser women would have not put up with the time it takes for me to look after UMSF, go and do talks and so on. I'm very lucky that she not only tolerates it, but comes with me to many of the talks and things that I do and supports me doing it all.
