These tended to fall into two categories. a) Directions to the /pub/SPACE/PRESS.KITS directory. Available through anoymous ftp at ames.arc.nasa.gov. There is a good chance I might be able to do some ftp'ing in a couple of months so I'll get them then. If anyone knows of other worthwhile ftp sites I'd appreciate some mail. (Maybe a directory list for /pub/SPACE ?). b) Requests for me to forward any press kits I did get. Unfortunately I am unable to do this as I don't have international mail privledges (as yet :)) hence my putting this here instead of mailing it to the individuals involved. Is anyone interested in putting together a FAQ post about shuttle missions. ie. STS-??, crew, payload, anything else of note? I would be prepared to do one but do not have enough information currently, or much time (so why am I on news? :)). Finally a note to all contributers to sci.space. I have always been interested in space matters (I want to be an astronaut dad :)) but growing up in New Zealand has limited what I can find on the subject (If it wasn't for this news group I would not have known the shuttle had been launched and/or Gallileo was in trouble, etc). I have also found that the discussions tend to remain fresh and interesting, ie. as soon as a yes/no battle begins to stagnate a new topic apears. So in conclusion, THANK YOU. -- comp.archives file verification ames.arc.nasa.gov total 1086 -rw-r--r-- 1 108 67612 May 8 14:01 STS-40.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 64318 Mar 28 14:53 STS-37.Press-Kit -rw-r--r-- 1 108 86465 Feb 18 20:45 STS-39.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 91962 Nov 29 23:23 STS-35.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 56716 Sep 15 1990 STS-41.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 49112 Jul 15 1990 CRRES.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 109747 Mar 31 1990 STS-31.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 105559 Mar 29 1990 STS-34.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 76050 Feb 22 1990 STS-30.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 71507 Feb 22 1990 STS-29.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 21104 Dec 28 1989 Atlas-Centaur-68.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 41122 Dec 28 1989 COBE.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 73690 Dec 4 1989 STS-32.Press-Kit -rw-rw-r-- 1 108 133162 Sep 2 1988 STS-26.Press-Kit found space-press-kits ok ames.arc.nasa.gov:/pub/SPACE/PRESS.KIT/
