Paul, What's wrong with spacecraft and mission-related articles? That's astronomy too. By the way, that's a good resource you cited (Science@NASA)... but those articles are already on the internet too. ;-) My opinion (I know, no one asked for my opinion) is that the editor gets to choose which articles appear in the newsletter. The use of Space Place articles is granted in advance. The use of Science@NASA articles is covered by their copyright notice that requests credit be given and that they be notified of reprinting.

Especially articles that are already on the Internet. I consider them to be wasted space. But if we're going to use such articles, please use astronomy related articles rather than spacecraft related. Instead of "NASA Space Place", how about "Science@NASA" (http://science.nasa.gov/Astronomy.htm, E-mail subscription: http://science.nasa.gov/news/subscribe.asp). The articles are far more astronomically related than the ones that have been in the newsletter. -Paul
