As I feel that the support for NASA and its fine work, by the public could be improved, I have designed and now have online my attempt to gather all supporters in one place that support NASA and Spaceflight in the form of a new Message Board/Forum titled  http://com4.runboard.com/bspaceflightsupportforums
There are forums available to merely express your support as well as threads about Future Launches, News, R&D, Science, and a Question and Answer forum for those that  want information about Spaceflight.

You can register if you want, or just post 1 message for automatic registration.

For some interesting reading - search Google for "Next Generation Launch Technologies" - there's a lot good stuff out there.

You'll get a mix of policy and technical stuff.
