Anybody belong to the NSS? Despite paying dues, I haven't heard anything from them since last year? Even emails go unanswered. I hope they don't advocate for the space program in the same fashion! |

NSS still exists?
I used to subscribe to their magazine which I considered of poor quality. And I dropped the Planetary Society because of their obsession with Mars exploration.

I would suggest calling their offices, as the NSS is indeed active. I receive mailings from them at least one per month, an e-newsletter and press releases. In regards to their magazine, when was the last time you saw it Chris? Ad Astra underwent a complete redesign in the past couple of years and is now published by Imaginova (Space.com) for the NSS. I write book and multimedia reviews for each issue. |

Robert, Now I'm confused. Wasn't their magazine called "Spaceworld" way back? (I haven't kept any issues) or am I missing something here (in that case, I'll take my comments back). Chris.

Chris, Space World was the official publication of the National Space Institute. NSI merged with the L5 Society in 1987 and since then the magazine has been Ad Astra with a completely different format then the earlier publication. If you've never seen Ad Astra, I highly suggest checking it out, especially the recent issues published by Imaginova. |
