Hello.

I am brand new to Universe Today. I just spent some time exploring the site and must say I am extremely impressed. Fantastic!! I couldn't resist joining the forum and plan to spend some time here in the future.

A couple items I wanted to point out:

(i) I came to Universe Today via the Society of Physics Students webpage at the Johns Hopkins University:

Johns Hopkins SPS Fun Page

It is plain text, not a hyperlink. Is this why, in your "Physics" section, they are listed in the main listing rather than in the Partners section? lncidentally, your link to the SPS page is a dead link.

(ii) This site has a very extensive collection of resources relating to space; however, one area I did not see covered (perhaps I have not yet explored your site thoroughly enough) is the subject of engineering. Like most of your visitors, I too love stargazing, wondering what's "out there", and following activities meant to get us there; however, your site does not seem to have a listing of concrete resources that might assist people who are actually working to get us "out there". I have come across a few sites meant to assist aerospace engineering students, for example, RocketScientists.ca, but such resources seem to be quite rare. Perhaps a section on Universe Today dedicated to Aerospace Engineering would get the ball rolling even more.

In any case, these are minor comments; your site is fantastic. Keep up the wonderful work!

Well, first off, Welcome to the forums
I personally think your suggestion is a great idea, I would love to see a section devoted to mainly the engineering aspect of space exploration, although we do sometimes go pretty in depth with that sort of thing in the Q & A section.

You may also want to check out the Space Exploration section.

Feel free to start your own topic!

Glad you are here.

thanks tinaa for the guidance, today how the people are become more advance, when i saw one movie men in black in which there were thousands of weapons and rockets which were destryoing the aliens vehicle with their technology, the aliens may be more advance than the people of earth in rocketary? such doubt was there in my mind when i saw that movie in 2000.
