I have been lifted from the depths of my despair by the responses on that other thread from our doughty band of lurkers.

Let’s see if we can ride this high for a bit. New question - what would you like to see to distinguish this community from a generic space community? I’m gonna throw out a couple thoughts based on things I could actually pull off. Interested in positive/negative feedback. Interested in “yes, and”.

Just to put a little structure on this, let’s make top comments suggestions and put feedback in the threads.

    I’ve worked at NASA for a good number of years, and I’ve interacted a lot with the human health and medical establishment. Anyone want to do some read-and-discuss threads on interesting layperson-friendly HMTA papers?

    Honestly if this community did nothing else but aggregate NASA press releases, I’d be happy.

    Does NASA still do pic of the day? That too I guess.

      Yeah, those sound great.

      Random info articles maybe? Just to learn things. Idk

    I’m a human spaceflight guy, and well-read in the area of NASA’s evolving plans for crewed exploration of the Moon and Mars. Would y’all like a series of discussion posts on NASA’s Moon to Mars Objectives?

    Wish we could have more images taken by JWST. I really wish they would put more out. I actually find it hard to believe that they only took like 7 images since it was launched.

    I’ll throw out another one. Would it be useful to the community to see short bios on those among us that work at (or around) NASA? Would others that work there be interested in posting one?

    If there’s interest, I was thinking that I’d police that post heavily to ensure that only posters that had proven their credentials to me had posts… and that I’d share my own credentials with anyone that passed so that we were all on the same playing field.
