Thanx for the responce. I too am interested in the space program. Just out of curiosity, are you familiar with the SPACE digest? I had the impression that net.columbia was just for fast, recent updates and the SPACE digest was for the extended discussion. Anyway, thanx again for the summaries. tom galloway

yes, i am familiar with the space digest. there was talk earlier about whether or not to merge net.columbia with fa.space or make it a digest like space. however, i pointed out that the one drawback of digest form is that it takes the currency out of the news, being distributed at least one day after all the articles. net.columbia is not only for updates, tho that is mostly what has been going through it. i'd like to see some discussion going through it too. i do not mean for it to compete with fa.space or vise-versa in any way, tho -- both serve their distinct purposes. the main objective is to keep people informed and to provide a ground for discussion. if that is accomplished by a combination of both newsgroups, than the objective is accomplished.
