I just heard about this project on the radio this morning and immediately went to check whether we're in their collection yet. It appears not, but there is the provision for anyone to nominate a site. I didn't want to jump in without consulting Doug and the team, but for me UMSF has already earned a place in history. I like to think that long after we - and the current way of doing things on the internet - have moved on historians of science and its interface with the public will be able to study the way this forum worked and what it achieved 'in the flesh'.

This is a really good idea, and not just for back-up reasons.I'm sure this place will be mentioned in the space history books of the future.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it on here that the first pictures of the Enceladian geysers were posted, ever? Or those first Huygens mosaics, not to mention the 'Kodak Moment' suggestions for New Horizons? And of course all those home-made images making it onto magazine covers too! I'd say UMSF deserves at least a footnote for all that...

If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

There is actually 87 versions of UMSF from April 2005 to August 2008 at archive.org:

Hey there's the old logo and visual theme!
And some former members too... I wonder what they're up to now.
