This group is of interest but is a bit overwhelming. I sugest the following as potentially reasonable subdivisions: net.space.life - for all the debates about ETs, life out there, etc net.space.use - industry, space stations, etc. net.space.events - (truncated at the n) not to be confused with net.columbia, for discussion of eclipses, Halley's comet, auroras, etc. bob waldstein mhuxt!wald

A subdivision would be just fine with me, but I can't help thinking that the name net.astronomy should be used for discussion of "space events" like Halley's comet, eclipses, telescopes, etc. David Bryant cbosg!djb

What you don't realize is that net.space is gatewayed into the ARPA SPACE at MIT-MC, i.e. all messages from the ARPA side going into their digest are broken up and submitted to net.space There is no way to submit them selectively to a subgroup, so all the ARPA messages would go to net.space anyway.
