"NASA is teaming up with Tor Books to create a series of books based on the
agency's current and future missions and operations. The book series will be
labeled as"NASA-inspired works of fiction:"

"Many people who work in science and technology often credit science fiction as
a significant inspiration for their career choices. The enormous popularity of
science fiction is a key element in this collaboration to make the books a
gateway to the general public and generate awareness of the significant role
NASA plays in our everyday live.
NASA will pair scientists and engineers with Tor-Forge writers to help raise
awareness and enhance public interest in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM). NASA's goal is to attract and retain students focused on
STEM studies, strengthening the agency and the nation's future workforce."
"Tor/Forge authors will be visiting the Goddard Space Center for a two-day
workshop in November, to learn from scientists and engineers. NASA will also
provide access to data, equipment, and design and evaluation experts."

Ps. Hm, borde kanske översätta mer ur Mord på månen till engelska? (En av
novellerna - "Ledtrådar"/"Clues" finns på engelska redan, och har gått i
engelsk antologier.)
