Nice! And he's got us bang on there with the description ;D

I'd add he's speaking about sites that are covering Augustine level content, as opposed to "space" in general (I mean, when was the last time we covered a supernova ;))

"15 American Dollars" ;)

Yeah - I like that description, very apt as I'm currently writing the most engineering complex article in the history of orbiter borescope inspections ;D

And guess which site is first mentioned :)

Was there ever any doubt? Not by me...  :)

Way to go Chris B, and all other great sources, posters, moderators, writers, and video production guys. You make this place what it is!

Rock on!

Good work, Chris!  The article is spot-on with all the websites I go to everyday.  Well, except Hyperbola and Space Politics. :)

Hyperbola = hyperbole.
If I like something on NSF, it's probably because I know it to be accurate.  Every once in a while, it's just something I agree with.  Facts generally receive the former.

Word to the wise, there's no such thing as bad publicity if you run a site that begs attention by spamming, so don't do that site a favor by going on about it. Thread edited back.
