I've never heard of the guy, although I'm not surprised. Thanks to Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal, north Alabama is an island of well-educated SF readers and space fans in the middle of a sea of fundies. :-) The idea isn't bad, since who generally wants to see better space fundings than SF and sci-fi fans? It's nice to live in the one part of the state where pandering to the people means more funding for NASA, instead of posting the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and spewing stupid homophobic crap for the TV cameras. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
