I know this may be a "different" post from what is usually posted on this forum, but I thought this would be as good of a place as any to place it. I enjoy making space-related webpages, but I have run out of ideas. I have made pages about Apollo 11 and 13, John Glenn, America's milestones in space, my astronaut autograph collection, and my favorite manned spaceflight images. Anyone have any ideas on a new page I can do? The more unique and interesting, the better. Thanks for your help! |

It would be really great to see a Webpage on the work done by North American Aviation for building the Apollo Command & Service Modules ... On the web I only found a webpage for the Grumman Lunar Modules ... It would be great seeing images of CSM being build at NAA plants ... Although it would be difficult to find NAA photos ... ? |

How about something on NASAs predecessor, NACA? |

First Idea...
I have seen Wayne refer to his MIT cup in his articles and wonder whether you could build a page for that. I believe Wayne has pictures taken of Aldrin with the cup and Wayne could provide some textual dialogue.Second Idea...
A COMPLETE and up to date (and kept up to date) listing of al the space websites out there categorised appropriately. I know Robert does a stirling job with keeping the listing here on collectSPACE up to date but that is reliant upon submissions, we could do with one that goes out and finds all those websites. Third Idea...
An accurate as possible listing of the key astronaut contact addresses, at least those in the public domain. Everyone who joins or starts asks the same questions about addresses so why not have a page online. Again I know there are already such pages but they arent maintained. Fourth Idea...
A page (or two) on evaluations of authenticity for online auctions. Russ's site does this but has valuations which it really has to have as a fee paying service, but a more basic service that just says whether items are genuine (in the opinion of the reviewer) would provide a useful service for newcomers without the costs of paying for an online service and also this is probably the most important requirement anyway as valuations are speculative and affected by fashion anyway. Well, that should keep you going for a few hours. Joe |

Well, I've decided to fix up my page on my astronaut autograph collection, and add some features from Joe's advice (second and third idea). I like the fourth, but I am by far not the person who should decide what is authentic or not. I have only been doing this for a year.Joe, here is the URL to what I have done: http://members.tripod.com/~brianspeter/index.html
Compared to your website, and others that I have seen, my is in pretty bad shape. This is one reason why I have decided to redo my page. Besides, it shouldn't be how the webpage looks, but what it contains. Thanks for your help.

Not to discourage you, collshubby, and in fact I encourge you to take Joe's ideas and run, but it should be noted that two sites exist which do offer the information Joe seeks:a) The complete space site directory -- try: http://home.HiWAAY.net/~hal5/space-links.shtml While not particulary visually stunning, every link works and it is kept very up-to-date; b) The complete list of public domain astronaut addresses: http://www.collectspace.com/resources/astroaddresses.html Not to toot my own horn, and in fact I am not -- as this was provided by Stephen Beck -- but as far as I know these are the only addresses in the public domain. - Robert
