[sac-board] Re: Non-Club Articles in the Newsletter

The space place articles are provided by JPL to Astronomy clubs for
publication in their NL's. That is why you see them in other clubs editions.
They are not actually available to the general public. In the two plus year
it's been running, you are the first to mention any negative comments.  You
may not remember this , but you did once send me an article you gleaned off
the internet about "Moon Trees". That article was actually part of the Space
Place series.

That's why I wrote "But if we're going to use such articles,..." :-)

The "Space Place" that was in SAC's November newsletter, also appeared in
the newsletters of PAS and EVAC (found with a Google search of the first
line of the article).

So Science @ NASA is granted in advance too.  :-)

I could not locate the copyright notice for Space Place (it looks like a a
site for kids).
