I know that people always say that online petitions have no value, but I thought you might find this interesting:

I signed it. Now let's see if I get lots of spam offering astronomy related products and services.

I did sign, once I found that as a Canadian, my voice would be counted.

Yes, online petitions are seen as useless, but in this case I don't think it can hurt. At least it give us little people a chance to express our feelings and opinions. Hopefully someone will recognise that there is support for space exploration in the international community.

Speaking of which, I wonder how many people have signed the petition. There seems to be no review or counter feature on the site. I'm curious to see what kinds of comments have been made as well.
