[net.space] subdivide net.space

wald (11/11/82)

 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.

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.

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.
