Coalition for Space Exploration Drops The Ball
Editor’s note: I got this email today:
“Dear Space Advocate, This week, the presidential candidates will be at the podium again discussing the significant topics of our nation, and YOU have a chance to ask about what’s important. As a supporter of space, this is your opportunity to get questions about Space Exploration at the forefront of the debate. Please check out the following link: http://capwiz.com/spaceadvocate/utr/1/OSTZIARNGS/ATHLIARRAS/1699563546, and vote for your favorite question, or submit one of your own. Questions about candidates’ views on Space Exploration have been in the top 10 for over a week. Let’s keep these on the radar. Be sure to check out the “most popular” area in both the Democratic and Republican section to see the specific question and submit your vote. SpaceAdvocate.com is current undergoing maintenance at this time. However, you CAN make a difference by making your voice heard this week. Cast your vote or submit a question…. TODAY!
Sincerely, SpaceAdvocate.com and the Coalition for Space Exploration”
There is one small problem with this. If you go to SpaceAdvocate.com you will see that it is obviously no longer being operated by the Coalition for Space Exploration. Rather, a check of domain records shows that it is owned by some guy in Ankara, Turkey. I’m not certain how the Coalition folks could call this goof-up “maintenance” when they apparently have lost control of one of their prime websites.
