I've heard some mention about "Space Digest".
Is that some sort of on-line publication?
If so, could someone send me some information about it
(e.g., how to subscribe)?
Or better yet, send me a sample copy.
Thanks.tm2b+@andrew.cmu.edu (Todd L. Masco) (12/15/90)

Thanks. > Judy Anderson [I'm sending this to sci.space rather than making a personal reply because I've received many subscription requests from sci.space readers] Short answer: Yes, sci.space. Long answer/Ad: The SPACE Digest is a mailing-list equivalent to the USENET newsgroup sci.space; the only real differences being that I frequently will put one or two articles of interest in from another newsgroup and that I will occasionally completely remove a flamefest or a thread that has become completely ridiculous, before the Digest goes out (I don't like to do this, but...). To those with USENET feeds, the Digest is of interest only to those who for some reason prefer mail to rn. I only know of a few people with access to hosts with feeds who receive the Digest. The Magazine is another matter; the SPACE Digest has a companion "best-of, mostly-facts" digest, named the SPACE Magazine. If you're tired of the bad signal-to-noise ratio of the newsgroup, you may want to get the Magazine as an alternative to wading through scores of articles every day. If you know somebody who can't get at a USENET feed, can receive mail, and might be interested in the Digest or the Magazine, let 'em know about the Digest and Magazine!
