NASA has set up an account to hold contributions received; presumably, if the Congress authorizes another (or dare I hope, two more) Shuttle(s), the money sent in will go that far. I would also imagine that that sort of tangible support would go a long way to convincing the Congress to authorize another shuttle. On another front, the US Space Institute in Colorado Springs has set up a fund; I'll post the address tomorrow. They're getting 100 of my hard-earned (ha!) smackers, which isn't very important; but apparently one major corporation has pledged 4% of its profits, which (the 4%) they expect to be $250,000 for 1986. -- rick.
