Re: Space News & BBS Recommendations?

Eby: "7) Nasawatch: (http://www.nasawatch.com/index.html) why?: A great source of insider news and gossip. The amount of gossip is a negative for me. It turns out wrong a fair amount of the time, but you may often hear news first from NASA watch. Beware of Keith's penchant for jumping on anyone in an authority position. He can really get you down on someone if you don't keep in mind everyone makes mistakes. He won't be pointing out the successesof those people in the same article."

Cowing: Eby obviously spends little if any time actually reading NASA Watch. He made up his opinion about me once long ago when he sent me an angry email complaining about me not linking to Jim Oberg's "Space Power" book on my solar power satellite page only to be told (by me) that he was wrong: the book has to do with military power. He has been mad at me ever since for making him look stupid and not doing his homework.

As for Space Daily - you are wrong, while it is a very useful site, they post press releases verbatim (that vast majority of their material BTW) - they just don't tell their readers what the source of the text is press releases or status reports as we do on SpaceRef.

Do more research before you dump on people, Eby.
