I've owned space.org since I registered it in August of 1995, and in the process
of attempting to figure out what to do with it, have turned down many offers to
purchase it over the years. I think that Web 2.0 has finally made it possible to
do what I want with the domain at the level of quality I'm seeking, and
therefore I'm inviting the participants of this forum to participate in the
site's "soft launch" (deployed on top of Ning.com's social network service) and
help me figure out how to best utilize the information and technology now
available to provide a valuable service to the space advocacy community as a
whole.

At a later point, I will also be making email addresses @space.org available,
and perhaps sub-domains (joeblow.space.org). Soft launch participants will
receive priority in address and domain selection, and a year's free email
service (and perhaps more) if and when that option is in place.

A limited number of initial commercial sponsorship options are also available at
very reasonable rates, if anyone is interested, feel free to contact me via
email at this address, or call me at 831-295-3917 (my business cell).
